Las Cruces Man, 48, Booked on Assault and Battery Charges at North Main Street

Allegedly... James Spangeler, a 48-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 29, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2583 N Main St and assigned booking number 2600005211. He faces misdemeanor charges of assault and battery and is currently held without bond. Under New Mexico law, battery involves the unlawful, intentional touching or application of force to the person of another, when done in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest location on North Main Street falls within the jurisdiction of local municipal and county authorities. A no-bond hold typically indicates that the individual must remain in custody until an initial appearance before a magistrate or judge. The charges are allegations, and Spangeler is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
