Las Cruces Woman, 32, Booked on Suspicion of Concealing Identity at Nmsu

Allegedly... Wendy Pinedo, a 32-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 29, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at Lot 38 on the New Mexico State University campus under booking number 2600007851. Pinedo faces one count of concealing identity, a petty misdemeanor, alongside two misdemeanor charges for failure to appear. The charge of concealing identity generally involves allegations of providing false information or refusing to provide a legal name to a peace officer during a lawful stop. According to the booking record, the arrest occurred on university property, and the failure to appear charges suggest outstanding warrants from previous court matters. She is currently being held without bond on the concealing identity charge. The charges are allegations, and Wendy Pinedo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
