Las Cruces Man, 32, Booked on Felony Probation Violation and Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Richard Rudy Clark, a 32-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 26, 2026. Registered under booking number 2600006843, Clark faces two felony counts of probation violation and a felony charge for failure to appear. He was taken into custody at the El Paso Anex and is currently held on a combined bond of $10,000 for the failure to appear charge, while the probation violations carry a no-bond status. A failure to appear charge generally indicates that an individual did not attend a scheduled court proceeding, leading to a bench warrant for their arrest. The probation violation charges suggest a reported breach of court-ordered supervision terms from a prior legal matter. Because the arrest occurred at the El Paso Anex, the transfer involves coordination between regional jurisdictions to address these outstanding warrants. The charges are allegations, and Clark is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
