Las Cruces Man, 20, Booked on Battery Against a Household Member Charge

Allegedly... Elijah Eugene Manzanares, 20, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 7, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2301 El Camino Real, Apartment 304, in Las Cruces. He faces a misdemeanor charge of battery against a household member and is currently held under booking number 2600004631 with no bond set. The charge of battery against a household member is a specific classification under New Mexico law involving alleged physical contact or harm within a domestic context. The arrest location suggests the incident occurred at a private residence within the city limits. A no-bond hold typically signifies that the individual must remain in custody until they make an initial appearance before a magistrate or judge to determine release conditions. The charges are allegations, and Manzanares is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
