Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked on Battery Charge at La Posada

Allegedly... Nicholas R. Rodriguez, a 36-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 16, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 245 La Posada and assigned booking number 2600007466. He faces a misdemeanor charge of battery and is currently being held without bond. A battery charge in New Mexico generally involves the unlawful, intentional touching or application of force to the person of another, when done in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where local law enforcement processed the booking following the incident at the residential or commercial location on La Posada. The charges are allegations, and Rodriguez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
