Las Cruces Woman, 40, Booked on Multiple Counts of Failure to Pay Fines

Allegedly... Pauline J. Leavy, a 40-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 10, 2026. The booking, registered under number 2600006376, followed an arrest at 2293 Divot Ave. Leavy faces four misdemeanor charges for failure to pay fines, with total bonds set at $450 across the four counts. In New Mexico, a failure to pay fines charge typically stems from a prior court judgment where a defendant did not meet the financial obligations ordered by a judge. The arrest location on Divot Avenue indicates the jurisdiction of the local municipal or magistrate court system. These types of bookings often occur when an active warrant is issued following a missed payment deadline. The charges are allegations, and Leavy is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
