Las Cruces Man, 30, Faces Felony Witness-Bribery and Threat Charges

Allegedly... Xavier Dwayne Sida, 30, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Feb. 27, 2026, under booking number 2600001632. He faces five charges stemming from an incident at 3750 Tepeyac Street in Las Cruces: felony bribery of a witness, felony use of a telephone to threaten, harass or offend, misdemeanor battery against a household member, misdemeanor resisting or obstructing an officer, and a petty-misdemeanor count of assault against a household member. No bond was listed on any of the counts. Under New Mexico law, bribery of a witness is a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison, and the telephone-harassment statute becomes a felony when a threat of serious injury is alleged. Household-member battery and assault are defined under the state’s Crimes Against Household Members Act and typically trigger additional protective-order provisions on release. No local news coverage identifying Sida in connection with this arrest was located through available sources, and no charging document naming him was publicly indexed at the time of publication. Sida has not been convicted of any offense in connection with the current charges. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
