Las Cruces Man, 30, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear and Trespassing Charges

Allegedly... Salvador John Chavez, a 30-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 22, 2026. Records show he was taken into custody at 1345 El Paseo under booking number 2600007652. Chavez faces a felony charge of failure to appear, along with misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and concealing identity. A felony failure to appear charge typically indicates that an individual did not attend a previously scheduled court proceeding regarding a separate legal matter. The arrest location on El Paseo falls within the city's commercial and residential jurisdiction. A $5,000 bond has been set for the felony charge, while the misdemeanor counts are currently listed with no bond. The charges are allegations, and Chavez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
