Las Cruces Man, 53, Booked on Felony Methamphetamine Possession Charge

Allegedly... William Clyde Turner, 53, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 20, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 755 Avenida de Mesilla in Las Cruces and assigned booking number 2600005016. Turner faces a single felony charge of possession of methamphetamine and is currently being held without bond. The arrest took place at a commercial address along a main thoroughfare in Las Cruces. Under New Mexico statutes, the possession of methamphetamine is classified as a felony offense regardless of the quantity involved. The zero-dollar bond status noted in the booking record indicates that Turner is being held in custody pending an initial appearance before a magistrate or a formal pretrial detention hearing. The charges are allegations, and Turner is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
