Las Cruces Woman, 31, Booked on Felony Fugitive From Justice Charge

Allegedly... Samantha Devonne Martinez, a 31-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 15, 2026. Records show she was taken into custody at 200 E. Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces under booking number 2600006546. She is currently being held without bond on a felony charge of being a fugitive from justice. In New Mexico, a fugitive from justice charge typically indicates that an individual is wanted by another jurisdiction for an outstanding warrant or pending legal matter. The arrest location on East Picacho Avenue is the site of the Doña Ana County Magistrate Court, where such jurisdictional transfers are often processed. The no-bond status is standard procedure for individuals awaiting extradition or further court proceedings regarding out-of-state or out-of-county warrants. The charges are allegations, and Martinez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
