Mesilla Park Man, 49, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Robert Chavez, a 49-year-old resident of Mesilla Park, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 2, 2026. Chavez was taken into custody at 110 Calle de Alegra and assigned booking number 2600007027. Records indicate he faces a felony charge for failure to appear, with bond set at $1,500. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding as required by a judge. Because the charge is classified as a felony in this instance, it typically involves a missed court date related to a prior felony-level offense. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Chavez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
