Las Cruces Man, 50, Booked on Battery Against a Household Member Charge

Allegedly... Richard Salomon Beltran, 50, of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on Aug. 14, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600006538 following an arrest at 808 Idaho Avenue. Records indicate he faces a misdemeanor charge of battery against a household member and is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a charge of battery against a household member involves the alleged intentional touching or striking of a family or household member in a rude, insolent, or angry manner. The arrest location on Idaho Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. A no-bond hold typically indicates that a judge will need to review the case to determine conditions of release. The charges are allegations, and Beltran is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
