Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked on Felony Shoplifting and Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Miguel D Palacios, a 36-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 5, 2026. Palacios was taken into custody at 1110 Parkhill Drive under booking number 2600007994. He faces a felony count of shoplifting items valued between $500 and $2,500, along with a misdemeanor charge for failure to appear. Records indicate he is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a felony shoplifting charge involving property valued over $500 is classified as a fourth-degree felony, which carries potential penalties including prison time and fines. The failure to appear charge suggests a prior legal obligation or court date that was not met, leading to a bench warrant. The arrest location on Parkhill Drive falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Palacios is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
