Las Cruces Man, 19, Booked on Charges of Criminal Trespass and Resisting

Allegedly... Noel Roman Varela, a 19-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 5, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 201 N. Church St. under booking number 2600007079. Varela faces two misdemeanor counts, including criminal trespass and resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer. The arrest occurred at the address of the Doña Ana County Government Center in downtown Las Cruces. Criminal trespass charges in New Mexico generally involve entering or remaining on property without permission, while resisting or obstructing charges typically stem from interactions with law enforcement during the course of their duties. No bond amount was specified in the initial booking record. The charges are allegations, and Varela is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
