Las Cruces Man, 38, Booked on Probation Violation, Failure to Appear Counts

Allegedly... Trent Fender, 38, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on March 5, 2026, following an arrest at the intersection of Hadley Avenue and Second Street. He faces three felony counts of probation violation and four misdemeanor counts of failure to appear, with only one of the charges carrying a $100 bond while the rest are held without bond. In New Mexico, probation violation charges are filed when prosecutors allege that a person under court supervision has broken a condition of that supervision. Multiple failure-to-appear counts often accumulate when a defendant misses successive hearings across one or more underlying cases. No news coverage specifically identifying the underlying cases associated with Fenders booking was located in public sources at the time of this report. The arrest location at Hadley and Second Street lies near the citys downtown core. Fender is presumed innocent of each allegation unless and until proven otherwise in a court of law.
