Sunland Park Woman, 51, Booked on Aggravated Residential Burglary Charges

Allegedly... Ofelia Cervantes, a 51-year-old resident of Sunland Park, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 13, 2026. Cervantes was processed under booking number 2600005529 on multiple felony charges, including aggravated residential burglary, conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony, and criminal damage to property exceeding $1,000. Records indicate she was transferred from the El Paso Jail and is currently being held without bond. Aggravated residential burglary is classified as a high-level felony in New Mexico, typically involving the unauthorized entry of a dwelling while armed with a weapon or causing physical injury. The conspiracy charge suggests an allegation that two or more individuals planned to carry out a criminal act. Because the arrest location was noted as the El Paso Jail, this booking likely represents an extradition or transfer to Doña Ana County to face these specific local charges. The charges are allegations, and Ofelia Cervantes is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
