Allegedly... Wesley K. Stubbs, a 35-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 7, 2026. Stubbs faces multiple charges including felony counts of receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle and being a fugitive from justice, alongside misdemeanor counts of assault on a peace officer, larceny, and criminal damage to property. Records indicate he was taken into custody at locations on Copper Loop and La Posada, and is currently held without bond. According to news reports, Stubbs was one of three individuals arrested following a pursuit involving a stolen vehicle. Coverage from KFOX14 indicates the incident involved allegations of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and evading arrest.
