Allegedly... Vydelya Monjaras, a 29-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 6, 2026. Registered under booking number 2600006234, she faces a felony charge categorized as all other offenses. Records indicate she was processed following a federal transfer and is currently being held without bond.

Court and news records show that the prior case involved allegations that her 7-month-old daughter tested positive for methamphetamine and heroin. The current booking record reflects her recent transfer into local custody from federal authorities. The charges are allegations, and Monjaras is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
