Mesilla Park Woman, 41, Booked on Multiple Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Valerie Marie Montano, a 41-year-old resident of Mesilla Park, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 1, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 3815 S. Main Street in Las Cruces and assigned booking number 2600006092. Montano is currently being held without bond on twelve separate misdemeanor counts. A failure to appear charge is typically issued when a defendant does not attend a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judge. The arrest location on South Main Street falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where the multiple counts suggest outstanding warrants from prior legal matters. The absence of a bond amount indicates a hold pending a further appearance before a magistrate. The charges are allegations, and Montano is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
