Las Cruces Man, 63, Booked for Violating Domestic Violence Order

Allegedly... Martin Jose Lopez, a 63-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 26, 2026. Lopez was taken into custody on Pete V. Domenici International Boulevard and assigned booking number 2600006836. He faces misdemeanor charges of violating a domestic violence order and failure to appear, with no bond currently set. Public records indicate the arrest occurred at a specific location on Pete V. Domenici International Boulevard. A charge of violating a domestic violence protection order generally involves the alleged breach of a court-mandated stay-away or no-contact directive. The failure to appear charge suggests a prior court date or legal obligation was not met, leading to the issuance of a bench warrant. The charges are allegations, and Lopez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
