Richard Martinez, 24, Booked on Felony False Imprisonment and Battery Charges

Allegedly... Richard Martinez, a 24-year-old man, was arrested and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 3, 2026. He faces a felony charge of false imprisonment along with misdemeanor counts of battery against a household member and interference with communication. Martinez was processed under booking number 2600005306 and is currently held without bond following his arrest at 198 Bockharn. In New Mexico, a charge of false imprisonment involves the intentional and unauthorized confinement or restraint of another person. The accompanying charges of battery against a household member and interference with communication indicate an incident involving a domestic relationship and the alleged prevention of a person from using a phone or emergency device. The arrest took place within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Richard Martinez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
