Las Cruces Man, 40, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear and Shoplifting Charges

Allegedly... Robert Gibson, 40, of Las Cruces, was arrested on July 19, 2026, and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center. He faces a felony charge of failure to appear along with a petty misdemeanor count of shoplifting under $100. Records list his booking number as 2600005710 and indicate he was taken into custody at 1256 El Paseo Road in Las Cruces. A $20,000 bond has been set for the felony charge, while no bond is currently listed for the shoplifting allegation. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when an individual fails to attend a scheduled court proceeding or comply with a judicial order. The shoplifting charge involves the alleged theft of merchandise valued at less than $100. Both charges originated from the same arrest location on El Paseo Road, falling under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement and the Doña Ana County court system. The charges are allegations, and Robert Gibson is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
