Las Cruces Man, 31, Booked on Charges of Assault on a Peace Officer and Resisting

Allegedly... Daryn Thomas Romero, a 31-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 25, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 4311 E. Lohman and assigned booking number 2600007714. He faces misdemeanor charges of assault on a peace officer and resisting or obstructing, with no bond currently listed for either count. The arrest location on East Lohman Avenue is a high-traffic commercial area in Las Cruces. In New Mexico, an assault on a peace officer charge typically involves an attempt to commit a battery or any unlawful act or threat that causes a law enforcement official to reasonably believe they are in danger of immediate physical violence. Resisting or obstructing charges generally pertain to interfering with or evading a lawful command or investigation. The charges are allegations, and Romero is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
