El Paso Man, 30, Booked in Santa Teresa on Failure to Appear Warrant

Allegedly... Terrette Arndt, a 30-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 15, 2026. Arndt was taken into custody near the Pete V. Domenici International Highway and Airport area in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. He faces a misdemeanor charge for failure to appear, and his booking is recorded under number 2600008270 with no bond currently listed. A failure to appear charge typically stems from an individual missing a scheduled court proceeding or failing to respond to a judicial summons. The arrest location at the Santa Teresa port of entry area suggests the warrant may have been identified during a routine contact or border-area transit. This type of misdemeanor booking ensures the individual is brought before the court to address the original underlying legal matter. The charges are allegations, and Arndt is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
