Sapello Woman Libby Ann Cattey, 26, Faces Felony Battery on Officer Charges in Las Cruces

Allegedly... Libby Ann Cattey, 26, of Sapello, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center early on April 7, 2026 on multiple charges that include two felony counts of aggravated battery on a peace officer (not causing great bodily harm), according to booking records. Misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass, assault on a peace officer and resisting or obstructing an officer are also listed, along with a court commitment. The arrest location for most of the charges is recorded as 617 W. Picacho in Las Cruces. No bond was set on the misdemeanor counts, while each of the two felony battery counts is listed with a $100 bond in the booking record. A review of New Mexico news outlets, Las Cruces Police arrest blotters and public court dockets did not return a specific report naming Cattey at the time of publication. The underlying narrative described in any charging documents has not yet been publicly released. Cattey is presumed innocent unless and until convicted in court. The charges reflected in the booking record are allegations at this stage and have not been tested in court.
