Las Cruces Man, 41, Booked on Shoplifting Charge at Local Retail Area

Allegedly... Patrick Rocky Torres, a 41-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 3, 2026. Records show he was processed under booking number 2600006147 following an incident at 1285 El Paseo. He faces a petty misdemeanor charge of shoplifting items valued under $100 and is currently held without bond. The arrest location on El Paseo Road is situated within a commercial district of Las Cruces. A shoplifting charge in New Mexico involving merchandise valued at less than $100 is classified as a petty misdemeanor, which typically addresses the alleged unauthorized removal of low-value goods from a retail establishment. The no-bond status indicates he is being held pending a further court appearance or administrative review. The charges are allegations, and Torres is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
