Las Cruces Man, 45, Booked on Household Member Assault and Property Damage Charges

Allegedly... Richard Michael Gonzales, 45, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 6, 2026. He faces misdemeanor charges of assault against a household member and criminal damage to property under $1,000 involving a household member. Records show he was arrested at 1952 Bellamah Drive and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600008032. In New Mexico, these charges fall under the Crimes Against Household Members Act, which addresses alleged physical threats or intentional damage to the property of a family or household member. The arrest location on Bellamah Drive indicates the incident occurred within a residential area of Las Cruces. A no-bond hold typically requires a defendant to remain in custody until an initial appearance before a magistrate or judge. The charges are allegations, and Richard Michael Gonzales is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
