Las Cruces Man, 18, Booked on Multiple Violent Felony Counts

Allegedly... Jerimiah Castillo, an 18-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 22, 2026. He faces several felony charges including two counts of assault with intent to commit a violent felony, aggravated battery that may cause death or great bodily harm, and tampering with evidence. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 3815 S Main St and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600006737. The charges involve allegations of high-level violence and the intentional interference with a physical object to obstruct a legal proceeding. Aggravated battery causing great bodily harm is a serious felony in New Mexico, typically involving injuries that create a high risk of death or permanent disfigurement. The arrest location on South Main Street falls under the jurisdiction of local municipal and county law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Castillo is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
