Houston Man, 38, Booked in Las Cruces as a Fugitive From Justice

Allegedly... Paul Noel Prejean, a 38-year-old resident of Houston, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 27, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 217 E. Picacho Ave. and assigned booking number 2600006862. He is currently being held without bond on a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice. This specific charge typically involves an individual who is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding warrant or pending criminal matter. The arrest location on East Picacho Avenue is the site of the Third Judicial District Court and Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office administrative facilities, where such transfers or warrant processing often occur. The charges are allegations, and Prejean is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
