Las Cruces Man, 21, Booked on Twin Misdemeanor Assault Charges

Allegedly... Robert Manzanares, 21, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 7, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 2301 El Camino Real and assigned booking number 2600004630. He faces two misdemeanor counts of assault. According to the booking data, Manzanares is currently being held without bond. The arrest location listed is a specific residential apartment unit in Las Cruces, suggesting the incident occurred within a private residence. In New Mexico, a misdemeanor assault charge typically involves an allegation of a threat or an attempt to cause physical harm rather than the completed act of battery. The charges are allegations, and Manzanares is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
