Las Cruces Man, 50, Booked on Misdemeanor Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Paul Faires Coleman, a 50-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 7, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of West Picacho and Raymond in Las Cruces under booking number 2600007118. He faces a single misdemeanor charge of failure to appear and is currently held without bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant missing a scheduled court proceeding or failing to respond to a legal summons. The arrest location at West Picacho and Raymond suggests the booking followed a contact with law enforcement within the city limits of Las Cruces. This type of hold typically remains in place until the individual can be brought before a judge to address the underlying legal matter. The charges are allegations, and Coleman is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
