Las Cruces Woman, 36, Booked on Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Rachelle Gomez, a 36-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 20, 2026. She was processed under booking number 2600006661 on a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear. Records indicate the arrest took place at the intersection of Valley Drive and Hoagland Road, and she is currently being held without bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from an individual missing a scheduled court proceeding or failing to respond to a judicial summons. The arrest location at a local intersection suggests the booking may have originated from a proactive law enforcement contact or a traffic stop within the city limits. The charges are allegations, and Gomez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
