Las Cruces Man, 39, Faces Felony Assault and Firearm Possession Charges

Allegedly... Carlos A. Lopez, a 39-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 22, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 3889 Calle de las Margaritas under booking number 2600005047. Lopez is currently held without bond on a series of charges including felony aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a felon, and a parole violation. Additional misdemeanor counts include battery, larceny, and criminal damage to property. The arrest location at a specific residential address suggests the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement. A no-bond hold, as seen in this case, is frequently applied when a defendant is accused of a parole violation or when a judge determines the individual should remain in custody pending a preliminary hearing. The firearm charge specifically pertains to statutes regarding the possession of weapons by individuals with prior felony convictions. The charges are allegations, and Lopez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
