Las Cruces Man, 50, Booked on Felony Drug Possession Charge

Allegedly... Ronnie King, a 50-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 3, 2026. King was processed under booking number 2600006171 following an arrest at 150 E Madrid Ave in Las Cruces. He faces a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance and is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance typically involves the alleged discovery of prohibited drugs by law enforcement. The arrest location on East Madrid Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces authorities. A no-bond hold indicates that the individual is being detained until a scheduled court appearance or a conditions-of-release hearing occurs. The charges are allegations, and King is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
