Las Cruces Woman, 45, Booked on Misdemeanor Battery Charge

Allegedly... Jessica Rava Owens-norris, a 45-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 26, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody on Espina Street, approximately 125 feet south of Mountain Avenue. The booking, assigned number 2600006853, lists a single misdemeanor charge of battery with no bond currently specified. In New Mexico, a battery charge generally involves the intentional and unlawful touching or application of force to the person of another, when done in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest location near the intersection of Espina and Mountain indicates the incident occurred within the central jurisdiction of Las Cruces. The charges are allegations, and Owens-norris is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
