Las Cruces Man, 65, Booked as Fugitive From Justice on Felony Warrant

Allegedly... Pedro Gomez, a 65-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 11, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the Adult Probation and Parole office in Las Cruces under booking number 2600006403. He is currently being held without bond on a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice. A fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding criminal matter. This classification allows local authorities to detain a person while the demanding state or agency coordinates the legal process for extradition. The specific nature of the underlying warrant originating outside the immediate jurisdiction was not detailed in the initial booking record. The charges are allegations, and Gomez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
