Santa Teresa Man, 47, Booked on Child Abuse and False Imprisonment Charges

Allegedly... Marco Antonio Gomez, 47, of Santa Teresa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 30, 2026. He faces multiple felony charges, including abuse of a child, false imprisonment, and aggravated assault. Gomez was arrested at 1000 McNutt Road in Sunland Park and is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005230. False imprisonment involves the intentional and unauthorized confinement or restraint of another person. The charges in this case were filed following an incident in the Sunland Park jurisdiction, where law enforcement processed Gomez on three separate felony counts. Because no bond was established at the time of booking, he remains in custody pending further court proceedings. The charges are allegations, and Marco Antonio Gomez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
