Anthony Man, 18, Booked on Aggravated Battery Against Household Member

Allegedly... Adrian Hernandez, 18, of Anthony, New Mexico, was booked into jail on April 13, 2026, on a misdemeanor charge of aggravated battery against a household member without great bodily harm, according to jail booking records. The arrest was reported at a residence in the 1400 block of Old Field Drive in Anthony, and he was being held without bond. Under New Mexico law, aggravated battery against a household member is alleged when a person is accused of using force against a household or family member in a manner likely to cause injury, even absent serious bodily harm. The classification carries enhanced consequences compared to simple battery. The booking record does not describe the circumstances of the alleged incident, and a review of Doña Ana County court dockets and regional news coverage did not surface additional verified details about the case at the time of publication. Hernandez has not been convicted of the allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The case is expected to proceed in Doña Ana County Magistrate Court, where a judge will consider conditions of release at an initial appearance.
