Anthony, Tx Man, 31, Booked on Kidnapping and Aggravated Burglary Charges

Allegedly... Pablo Martinez, 31, of Anthony, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 29, 2026. Martinez faces multiple felony charges including kidnapping, aggravated residential burglary, aggravated assault, and two counts of aggravated battery not resulting in death or great bodily harm. He was also charged with several counts of conspiracy to commit third- and fourth-degree felonies. Records indicate he was arrested at 834 Quail Drive and is currently held on bonds totaling $100,000. According to news reports, the charges stem from an April 28, 2026, incident in Anthony, New Mexico, involving a dispute over a property sale. Court and news records show the confrontation allegedly escalated into a violent encounter involving a handgun at a residence. Local reporting indicates Martinez was one of two suspects arrested in Santa Teresa following the reported gunpoint attack. The charges are allegations, and Martinez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
