Las Cruces Man, 53, Booked on Felony Warrant and Resisting Charges

Allegedly... Steven Trejo, a 53-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 18, 2026. He faces multiple charges including a felony count of failure to appear, along with misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing, criminal trespass, and a secondary failure to appear. Records indicate he was arrested at 1905 Nevada Ave. in Las Cruces and is being held on a $10,000 bond for the felony charge. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when a defendant does not attend a scheduled court proceeding, prompting a judge to issue a bench warrant for their arrest. The resisting and trespass charges suggest the current booking stems from an encounter with law enforcement at a specific property. The Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office manages the facility where Trejo remains in custody. The charges are allegations, and Trejo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
