Las Cruces Man, 44, Booked on Failure to Appear Warrants at County Jail

Allegedly... Richard Louis Sanchez, 44, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on June 20, 2026, and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center. He is being held under booking number 2600005007. Records indicate Sanchez faces two misdemeanor counts of failure to appear following an arrest at 1290 S Valley. He is currently being held without bond. The charges stem from missed court dates rather than a new criminal offense. A failure to appear warrant is typically issued by a judge when a defendant does not attend a scheduled hearing or fails to comply with a court order. The no-bond status indicates that he will remain in custody until he can be brought before a magistrate to address the outstanding warrants. The charges are allegations, and Sanchez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
