Las Cruces Man, 71, Booked as Fugitive From Justice at County Facility

Allegedly... Sam Sosa, 71, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 5, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 9630 Hondo Rd in Las Cruces under booking number 2600004581. He faces a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice and is currently being held without bond. A fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding warrant or pending legal matter. The no-bond status is a standard administrative hold used to ensure the individual remains in custody until the demanding agency can coordinate a transfer or a court hearing can be scheduled. The arrest location on Hondo Road falls within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement in Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Sosa is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
