Las Cruces Man, 34, Booked on Shoplifting and Criminal Trespass Charges

Allegedly... Ruben A Rincon, a 34-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 14, 2026. He was processed under booking number 2600007367 following an incident at 801 E Thorpe. Records indicate Rincon faces one count of petty misdemeanor shoplifting and two counts of misdemeanor criminal trespass, with no bond currently set for the primary charges. Criminal trespass in New Mexico generally involves entering or remaining on public or private property without authorization. Shoplifting charges under the $100 threshold are classified as petty misdemeanors, typically involving the alleged theft of merchandise from a commercial establishment. The arrest location on East Thorpe Road falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Rincon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
