Las Cruces Man, 49, Booked on Domestic Battery and License Charges

Allegedly... Maurice Armendarez, a 49-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 2, 2026. Armendarez faces multiple misdemeanor counts, including two charges of battery against a household member and driving with a suspended license. He was taken into custody at 4043 Calle Estrados and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600007017. In addition to the battery and traffic allegations, the booking record indicates Armendarez was processed on two separate counts of failure to appear. These charges generally stem from a prior missed court date or a violation of a judicial order. The arrest at the Calle Estrados location consolidated these various active warrants and new allegations into a single booking event. The charges are allegations, and Armendarez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
