Las Cruces Woman, 54, Booked on Felony Failure to Appear Charge

Allegedly... Sharita Ward, a 54-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 26, 2026. Ward was taken into custody at 1014 S. Main St. and assigned booking number 2600006855. She currently faces a felony charge for failure to appear, with a bond set at $3,000. A failure to appear charge generally indicates that a defendant did not attend a previously scheduled court proceeding as required by a judge. Because this instance is classified as a felony, it typically relates to an underlying felony case or a specific statutory requirement regarding court attendance. The arrest location on South Main Street falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Ward is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
