Las Cruces Woman, 32, Booked on Battery and Household Battery Charges

Allegedly... Aleyda Benavidez, a 32-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 28, 2026. Records indicate she was processed under booking number 2600005980 following an arrest at 109 Jesus Silva Ave in Hatch, New Mexico. Benavidez faces misdemeanor charges of battery and battery against a household member, and she is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of battery against a household member involves the alleged unlawful, intentional touching or application of force to a family or household member in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The separate battery charge pertains to similar allegations involving another individual. Because the arrest occurred on Jesus Silva Avenue, the case falls under the jurisdiction of local magistrate or municipal authorities in Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Benavidez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
