Santa Teresa Man, 23, Booked on Felony False Imprisonment and Battery Charges

Allegedly... Angel Gustavo Gomez, a 23-year-old resident of Santa Teresa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 30, 2026. Gomez faces a felony charge of false imprisonment and a misdemeanor charge of battery following an incident at 1000 McNutt Road in Sunland Park. According to the booking record, he is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005229. In New Mexico, a false imprisonment charge involves the intentional and unauthorized confinement or restraint of another person. The arrest location on McNutt Road falls within the jurisdiction of Sunland Park authorities. A no-bond hold typically indicates that the defendant will remain in custody until a pretrial detention hearing or a first appearance before a judge. The charges are allegations, and Gomez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
