Mesilla Woman, 33, Booked on Battery Against a Household Member Charge

Allegedly... Cheyenne Danielle Contreras Zuniga, a 33-year-old resident of Mesilla, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 9, 2026. She faces misdemeanor charges of battery against a household member and failure to appear. Records show she was taken into custody at the intersection of South Main Street and University Avenue in Las Cruces and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600008092. The charge of battery against a household member involves allegations of unlawful, intentional touching or application of force to a family or household member in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The failure to appear charge indicates a prior legal requirement to attend a court proceeding that was not met. The arrest location at a major Las Cruces intersection falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Contreras Zuniga is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
