Las Cruces Man, 42, Booked on Felony Shoplifting and Conspiracy Charges

Allegedly... Noel Calderon, a 42-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 28, 2026. Records indicate he was arrested near the intersection of Lohman Avenue and Roadrunner Parkway under booking number 2600007813. He faces felony charges of shoplifting items valued between $500 and $2,500, along with conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony. A $5,000 bond was set for the conspiracy charge, while he is currently held without bond on the shoplifting count. In New Mexico, a fourth-degree felony conspiracy charge involves an alleged agreement between two or more individuals to engage in criminal activity. The shoplifting charge at this level suggests the value of the property involved meets the state's threshold for a felony offense. The arrest location at a major commercial intersection in Las Cruces falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Calderon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
