Vado Man, 20, Booked on Aggravated Battery and Failure to Appear Charges

Allegedly... Alejandro Josue Lopez-belmontes, a 20-year-old resident of Vado, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 13, 2026. He faces charges of aggravated battery against a household member without great bodily harm and failure to appear, both classified as misdemeanors. The arrest took place at 86 Flower Road, and he is currently held under booking number 2600008173 with no bond set. Aggravated battery against a household member involves the alleged unlawful touching or striking of a family or household member with the intent to injure. The failure to appear charge indicates a prior legal obligation to attend a court proceeding that was not met. The arrest location suggests the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Lopez-belmontes is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
