Sunland Park Man, 38, Booked on Felony Battery on Peace Officer Charges

Allegedly... Jonathan Rios, a 38-year-old resident of Sunland Park, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 12, 2026. Records show Rios was taken into custody at 4700 McNutt Road and assigned booking number 2600006411. He faces multiple counts, including felony battery on a peace officer, misdemeanor assault on a peace officer, and battery against a household member. He is currently held without bond. The charges stem from an incident involving both civilian and law enforcement contact in Sunland Park. In addition to the allegations of physical contact with officers and a household member, Rios was booked on suspicion of resisting or obstructing an officer and a misdemeanor count of failure to appear. The arrest location on McNutt Road falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County authorities. The charges are allegations, and Rios is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
