Las Cruces Man, 24, Booked on Charges of Assault on Peace Officers and Trespass

Allegedly... Aroni Dias, a 24-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 22, 2026. He faces multiple misdemeanor charges, including three counts of assault upon a peace officer, resisting or obstructing, and criminal trespass. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 901 E University Avenue in Las Cruces and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600007635. The arrest location corresponds to the campus area of New Mexico State University. In New Mexico, assault on a peace officer involves any unlawful act, threat, or insulting conduct which causes a reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm to an officer acting in the lawful discharge of their duties. The zero-bond status indicates the individual is being held pending a further hearing or judicial determination. The charges are allegations, and Dias is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
