Las Cruces Man, 57, Booked on Battery Against a Household Member Charge

Allegedly... Oscar Chavira, a 57-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 21, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 301 Rigsby B and assigned booking number 2600006713. He faces a misdemeanor charge of battery against a household member and is currently held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of battery against a household member involves the alleged intentional touching or application of force to a family or household member in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest location at a specific residential address falls within the jurisdiction of local Doña Ana County law enforcement. A no-bond hold typically requires the individual to remain in custody until an initial appearance before a magistrate or judge. The charges are allegations, and Chavira is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
