Las Cruces Woman, 33, Booked on Suspicion of Battery Against a Household Member

Allegedly... Candace Raeann Martinez, 33, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 2, 2026. Martinez was arrested near the intersection of Sonoma Ranch and Arroyo and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005291. She faces a misdemeanor charge of battery against a household member. In New Mexico, this charge typically involves the alleged use of force or violence against a family or household member, which can include a spouse, former spouse, or person with whom the individual has a child. The arrest location indicates the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement in the Sonoma Ranch area. A no-bond hold generally signifies that the individual must remain in custody until an initial appearance before a magistrate or judge. The charges are allegations, and Martinez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
