Las Cruces Woman, 40, Booked on Felony Battery on a Peace Officer Charge

Allegedly... Blanca Isela Valles, a 40-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 1, 2026. She faces multiple charges including felony battery on a peace officer, felony criminal damage to property exceeding $1,000, and a misdemeanor count of resisting or obstructing. Records indicate the arrest took place at 730 Farney Lane under booking number 2600007002, with no bond currently listed. The charges involve allegations of physical contact with law enforcement and significant property destruction at the Farney Lane location. In New Mexico, battery on a peace officer is classified as a fourth-degree felony, reflecting the serious nature of interference with official duties. The criminal damage charge indicates the cost of repair or replacement for the affected property is estimated to be above the felony threshold. The charges are allegations, and Valles is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
