Las Cruces Woman, 27, Booked on Two Felony Counts of Child Abuse

Allegedly... Justine Destiny Barboa, a 27-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 19, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 2110 Alameda Blvd. in Las Cruces and assigned booking number 2600006635. She faces two felony charges of abuse of a child and is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, child abuse charges involve allegations that a person caused or permitted a minor to be placed in a situation that may endanger the child’s life or health. The arrest location on Alameda Boulevard falls under the jurisdiction of local municipal and county law enforcement. A no-bond hold signifies that the individual is being detained pending a further hearing to determine conditions of release. The charges are allegations, and Justine Destiny Barboa is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
