Las Cruces Man, 40, Booked on Felony Criminal Damage to Property Charge

Allegedly... Rafael Ramos, a 40-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 2, 2026. Records indicate he was assigned booking number 2600005290 and is facing a felony charge of criminal damage to property exceeding $1,000. He was apprehended at the intersection of Spruce and Solano Drive and is currently being held without bond. The charge involves allegations of intentional physical damage to the property of another person or entity where the repair or replacement value is estimated to be over the $1,000 threshold. Because the arrest occurred within the city limits of Las Cruces, the case falls under the jurisdiction of local and county authorities. A no-bond hold typically signifies that a defendant must remain in custody until an initial appearance before a magistrate or judge. The charges are allegations, and Rafael Ramos is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
