Las Cruces Woman, 34, Booked on Felony Shoplifting and Conspiracy Charges

Allegedly... Stephanie Garay, a 34-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 31, 2026. Records show she was taken into custody at 790 Avenida de Mesilla and assigned booking number 2600006088. She faces felony charges for shoplifting property valued between $500 and $2,500 and conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony, with no bond currently listed in the public record. Under New Mexico law, a fourth-degree felony shoplifting charge involves the alleged theft of merchandise totaling more than $500 but not exceeding $2,500. The conspiracy charge indicates that authorities believe more than one individual was involved in the planning or execution of the alleged offense. The arrest location on Avenida de Mesilla is a commercial corridor within the Las Cruces city limits. The charges are allegations, and Garay is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
