Las Cruces Woman, 31, Booked on Two Counts of Battery Against a Household Member

Allegedly... Monique Garcia, 31, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 3, 2026. Garcia faces two misdemeanor counts of battery against a household member under booking number 2600007053. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 4200 Northrise Drive and is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, battery against a household member involves the intentional touching or application of force to a family or household member in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest location on Northrise Drive falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The zero-bond status suggests the defendant will remain in custody pending an initial appearance before a magistrate. The charges are allegations, and Monique Garcia is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
