Sunland Park Man, 72, Booked on Assault on a Peace Officer Charge

Allegedly... Gregorio Pinon-duran, a 72-year-old resident of Sunland Park, was taken into custody on July 27, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600005942. Records indicate he faces a misdemeanor charge of assault on a peace officer following an incident at 310 Nueces Dr. and is currently held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of assault on a peace officer generally involves allegations of an attempt to commit a battery or any unlawful act, threat, or insulting conduct that causes a law enforcement official to reasonably believe they are in danger of immediate physical contact. The arrest took place within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where the local detention facility processes such misdemeanor bookings. The charges are allegations, and Pinon-duran is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
