Las Cruces Man, 44, Booked on Shoplifting and Trespass Charges

Allegedly... Richard Louis Sanchez, a 44-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 27, 2026. Under booking number 2600005944, he faces multiple misdemeanor counts including shoplifting under $100, criminal trespass, and failure to appear. Records indicate the arrest occurred at 1265 El Paseo Road, and he is currently held without bond. The charges stem from an incident at a commercial location in Las Cruces where law enforcement responded to reports of unauthorized entry and theft. A failure to appear charge generally indicates that an individual did not attend a previously scheduled court proceeding regarding a separate legal matter. The arrest location on El Paseo Road falls within the jurisdiction of the Las Cruces Police Department. The charges are allegations, and Sanchez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
