Las Cruces Woman, 29, Booked on Felony Drug Possession and Warrants

Allegedly... Yvette Ontiveros, a 29-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 23, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at the intersection of Avenida de Mesilla and Hickory on suspicion of a felony drug charge and two outstanding warrants. She is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600006779. The felony charge involves the alleged possession of methamphetamine, a controlled substance. The two misdemeanor counts for failure to appear indicate that there were existing judicial orders for her to be present in court for prior matters that remained unresolved at the time of this arrest. The charges are allegations, and Ontiveros is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
