Las Cruces Man, 34, Booked on Kidnapping and Aggravated Battery Charges

Allegedly... Alexander Ray Madrid, 34, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 23, 2025. He faces an extensive list of charges including kidnapping, robbery, false imprisonment, and multiple counts of aggravated battery and assault against a household member. Records indicate he was apprehended following incidents at Marble View and Copper Loop, with several counts carrying a no-bond hold. According to news reports, Madrid has been previously linked to vehicle theft attempts and a series of crashes that resulted in local school lockdowns. Court and news records show his history in the region includes allegations of repeat offenses involving stolen property and public safety disruptions. The current booking also includes several court commitments and failures to appear on both felony and misdemeanor levels. The charges are allegations, and Madrid is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
