Las Cruces Man, 31, Booked on Felony Drug Possession and Failure to Appear

Allegedly... Saul Hernandez, a 31-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 18, 2026. Hernandez was taken into custody at 2305 S Valley Drive in Las Cruces under booking number 2600006620. He faces a felony count of possession of methamphetamine and a misdemeanor charge for failure to appear, with records indicating he is currently held without bond. The felony drug charge generally involves the alleged discovery of controlled substances by law enforcement, while the failure to appear charge suggests a prior scheduled court date was missed. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where local authorities manage such narcotics-related bookings and outstanding warrants. The charges are allegations, and Hernandez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
