Allegedly... Hector Aldama, a 37-year-old resident of Sunland Park, was taken into custody on Sept. 10, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600007210. Aldama faces a felony charge of battery on a peace officer following an incident at 102 Penasco Lane in Sunland Park. Records indicate he is currently being held without bond. A charge of battery on a peace officer involves the unlawful, intentional touching or striking of a law enforcement official while they are performing their lawful duties. The arrest location at a private residence suggests the encounter occurred within a residential area of Sunland Park under the jurisdiction of local authorities.
