Las Cruces Woman, 19, Booked on Suspicion of Household Battery

Allegedly... Athena Nevaeh Casillas, 19, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 2, 2026. Casillas was taken into custody at 2405 W. Picacho Ave. and faces misdemeanor charges of battery against a household member and criminal damage to property under $1,000. She is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005284. Battery against a household member is a charge involving the alleged use of force or violence against a person with whom the defendant has a domestic relationship. The accompanying property damage charge suggests an incident involving the destruction of items valued at less than $1,000. These charges were filed following an arrest by local law enforcement within the Las Cruces jurisdiction. The charges are allegations, and Casillas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
