Deming Police Chief Bobby Orosco told Deming Radio news that additional felony charges were put on Matthew Baca, age 20 and Daven Plemmons, age 28 both of Deming for assisting in an escape from custody, and conspiracy.
Orosco said both men aided 40 year old Joshua Mirka in his escape from the Luna County Detention Center Monday night August 14th. The two allegedly assisted by boosting the inmate up a wall in the east recreation yard.
Jail officials said both men were being held on drug charges and warrants.
Luna County Manager Ira Pearson said that the recreation yard is still being used due to inmates having the right to be given recreation time, however they have added additional security measures with structure and manpower.
Magistrate Judge Ray Baese held an arraignment hearing Tuesday for both men and set a no bond order. Baca and Plemmons will eventually be bound over to District Court with no dates scheduled yet.
