Las Cruces Man, 57, Booked on Aggravated Assault and Dwi Charges

Allegedly... Johnny Perez, 57, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 28, 2026. Records show he was arrested at 991 N. Seventeenth St. and faces a felony charge of aggravated assault along with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and possession of an open container. He is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005203. In New Mexico, aggravated assault involves an unlawful attack upon another with a deadly weapon or with the intent to commit a felony. The arrest location on North Seventeenth Street falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement within the city limits. A no-bond hold indicates that the individual is being detained until a pretrial hearing can be held to determine release conditions. The charges are allegations, and Perez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
