Las Cruces Man, 59, Booked on Aggravated Assault and Battery Charges

Allegedly... Benito Guillen, 59, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 20, 2026. He faces multiple charges including two counts of felony aggravated assault, two counts of battery against a household member, conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony, negligent use of a deadly weapon, and DWI. Records indicate Guillen was arrested at a residence on Hurt Road and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005006. According to news reports, the charges were filed following an early-morning incident at a residence on Hurt Road in the Las Cruces area. The situation resulted in a range of allegations involving both physical altercations and the use of a vehicle or intoxicants. Because the case involves multiple felony and misdemeanor counts including domestic battery and weapons charges, the court has ordered a no-bond hold pending further proceedings. The charges are allegations, and Benito Guillen is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
