Las Cruces Woman, 45, Booked on Two Counts of Battery Against a Household Member

Allegedly... Diana Garcia, 45, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Sept. 8, 2026, and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center. She faces two misdemeanor counts of battery against a household member under booking number 2600007142. Records indicate she was arrested at a residence located at 2980 Ancho Ave. in Las Cruces and is currently being held without bond. Under New Mexico law, battery against a household member involves the intentional touching or striking of a family or household member in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest location suggests the incident occurred within a residential area of the city. As of the booking date, no bond has been established for either of the two charges listed in the public record. The charges are allegations, and Garcia is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
