Las Cruces Man, 33, Booked on Felony Drug Possession Charge

Allegedly... Steven Montoya, 33, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 12, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 790 Avenida de Mesilla in Las Cruces under booking number 2600004796. He faces a single felony charge for possession of a controlled substance and is currently being held without bond. The arrest location corresponds to a commercial area in Las Cruces, where local authorities processed the intake. A no-bond status typically indicates that the defendant is being held until a first appearance before a judge, who will then determine conditions of release or set a financial bail amount. The felony classification for this charge suggests the substance involved is regulated under the New Mexico Controlled Substances Act. The charges are allegations, and Montoya is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
