Las Cruces Man, 34, Faces Felony Counts Including Breaking and Entering

Allegedly... Ruben A. Rincon, 34, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Feb. 28, 2026, under booking number 2600001655. He faces multiple charges spanning felony and misdemeanor counts, including breaking and entering, criminal damage to property under $1,000, shoplifting between $100 and $500, criminal trespass, two counts of failure to comply with conditions of release, and two counts of failure to appear. Bonds on the listed charges total roughly $5,000, with several counts carrying no bond. The breaking and entering and property damage counts are tied to an address on Copper Loop, according to the booking sheet, while the shoplifting and trespass counts stem from an incident on East Thorpe Road. The failure-to-appear and conditions-of-release counts are listed at the detention center itself, suggesting they were filed on existing cases. Local coverage in prior years has described a Las Cruces-area man named Ruben Rincon with an extensive arrest history in Doña Ana County, including charges related to stalking, breaking and entering, and trespass. Reporting by CBS4 Local and KVIA cited court records indicating more than 90 prior charges dating back to 2010, along with competency questions that complicated earlier prosecutions. It is not independently confirmed whether the individual in those reports is the same person booked this week. Rincon has not been convicted in connection with the current charges. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
