Sunland Park Man, 28, Booked on Felony Battery and Interference Charges

Allegedly... Pedro De Leon, a 28-year-old resident of Sunland Park, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 29, 2026. He faces multiple counts including felony aggravated battery against a household member causing great bodily harm, misdemeanor aggravated battery, and interference with communication. The arrest took place at 319 Sabine Drive, and De Leon is currently held without bond under booking number 2600007856. Aggravated battery against a household member is a serious charge in New Mexico involving allegations of physical force or injury within a domestic relationship. The felony designation indicates the state alleges the incident resulted in significant physical harm, while the interference charge typically involves claims that a person prevented someone from using a telephone or other device to summon help. The no-bond status reflects a judicial hold pending further court proceedings in the Third Judicial District. The charges are allegations, and De Leon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
