In New Mexico, child abuse charges involving a person under 18 can encompass various allegations, ranging from endangerment to physical neglect or harm. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of the Las Cruces Police Department near a commercial district on the city's east side.

The charges are allegations, and Abbey Autry is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
