La Mesa Man, 65, Booked on Aggravated Assault and False Imprisonment Charges

Allegedly... Anthony Scott Wallace, a 65-year-old resident of La Mesa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 28, 2026. Recorded under booking number 2600006898, he faces felony charges of aggravated assault and false imprisonment. The arrest took place at 6590 Camino Segura in La Mesa, and he is currently being held without bond. Under New Mexico statutes, aggravated assault involves a threat or action that causes a person to believe they are in danger of immediate bodily harm, often involving a weapon or the intent to commit a felony. False imprisonment consists of intentionally confining or restraining another person without their consent and without lawful authority. Both charges are classified as felonies due to the nature of the alleged interference with personal liberty and safety. The charges are allegations, and Wallace is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
