Poetry Lee Royal, 54, of Hobbs Booked at Luna County on Felony Charge

Allegedly... Poetry Lee Royal, 54, listed as a resident of Hobbs, was booked on Dec. 11, 2025, on a single felony charge recorded as "All Other Offenses." The arrest location on the booking sheet is the Luna County Detention Center in Deming, and no bond amount is listed. A search of New Mexico news outlets and public-records sources did not surface any reporting or court filings that match this booking by name, age and city. Luna County, in southwestern New Mexico along Interstate 10, frequently books people picked up on outstanding warrants from other jurisdictions. The charge is an allegation; Royal is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
