Las Cruces Man, 41, Booked on Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Ruben Ogaz, a 41-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 10, 2026. The booking, recorded under number 2600007245, followed an arrest on Pueblo Trail approximately 660 feet north of Westm. Ogaz faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear, and bond information was not immediately available at the time of processing. A failure to appear charge generally indicates that an individual did not attend a scheduled court proceeding or comply with a judicial summons. The arrest location suggests the encounter occurred within the local jurisdiction of Doña Ana County during a routine patrol or targeted enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Ruben Ogaz is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
