Sunland Park Man, 19, Booked on Child Abuse and Motor Vehicle Charges

Allegedly... Oscar Sosa, 19, of Sunland Park, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 10, 2026. He faces felony charges including abuse of a child resulting in great bodily harm, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Sosa was processed under booking number 2600002736 and is currently held without bond following his arrest at 4700 McNutt. According to news and court reports, the charges stem from an ATV crash in Santa Teresa that left a 17-year-old girl with severe injuries. Reports indicate that Sosa allegedly fled the scene in the desert after the incident occurred. The felony child abuse charge is categorized as a first-degree offense due to the extent of the injuries sustained by the minor passenger. The charges are allegations, and Sosa is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
