Carlsbad Man, 31, Booked on Felony Charge of Battery on Health Care Personnel

Allegedly... Matthew Mills, a 31-year-old resident of Carlsbad, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 18, 2026. Records indicate he was processed under booking number 2600006615 following an arrest at 2460 S. Telshor Blvd. in Las Cruces. He faces a felony charge of assault or battery on health care personnel and is currently being held without bond. The arrest location corresponds to a medical facility area in Las Cruces, where the alleged incident took place. A charge of battery on health care personnel in New Mexico involves the unlawful touching or application of force to a medical professional while they are performing their official duties. Because the court has not set a bond, Mills remains in custody at the regional detention facility. The charges are allegations, and Mills is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
