Tularosa Man, 45, Booked on Domestic Battery and Property Damage Charges

Allegedly... Armando Marrufo, a 45-year-old resident of Tularosa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 1, 2026. Records show he was taken into custody at 1240 S Valley in Las Cruces under booking number 2600007922. Marrufo faces misdemeanor charges of battery against a household member, battery, and assault, along with a petty misdemeanor charge of criminal damage to property under $1,000. He is currently being held without bond. The charges involve allegations of physical contact and property destruction at a specific location in Las Cruces. In New Mexico, battery against a household member is a specialized charge applied when the alleged victim has a specific domestic relationship with the accused. The no-bond status indicates that the defendant is being held at the facility pending a preliminary appearance or a conditions-of-release hearing before a magistrate. The charges are allegations, and Marrufo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
