Las Cruces Woman, 50, Booked on Battery on a Peace Officer Charge

Allegedly... Emilie Alvarez Uranga, a 50-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 7, 2026. Records indicate she was arrested at 2303 N. Mesquite St. and assigned booking number 2600007125. She faces a felony charge of battery on a peace officer alongside misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and resisting or obstructing. No bond was set at the time of her initial processing. Battery on a peace officer is a felony-level offense in New Mexico involving the unlawful touching or application of force to a law enforcement officer while they are performing their official duties. The arrest location on North Mesquite Street falls within the jurisdiction of local municipal and county authorities. The accompanying misdemeanor charges suggest a sequence of events involving unauthorized entry and non-compliance with responding personnel. The charges are allegations, and Uranga is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
