Chaparral Man, 51, Booked on Aggravated Assault and Tampering Charges

Allegedly... Gordon James Sincomb, a 51-year-old resident of Chaparral, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 11, 2026. Records show Sincomb was arrested at a location on Byrum Road in Chaparral and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600008147. He faces two felony counts: aggravated assault and tampering with evidence. In New Mexico, an aggravated assault charge typically involves an unlawful attack or threat with a deadly weapon or the intent to commit a felony. The additional charge of tampering with evidence suggests an allegation that an individual altered, destroyed, or hid physical items to thwart a legal investigation. The arrest was conducted by local authorities near the 400 block of Byrum Road. The charges are allegations, and Sincomb is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
