Las Cruces Man, 51, Booked for Violating Domestic Violence Order

Allegedly... Ruben Hernandez, a 51-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was taken into custody on July 29, 2026. He was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center under booking number 2600006005. Records indicate he faces a misdemeanor charge for violating a domestic violence order following an arrest at 993 Las Alturas Drive. He is currently being held without bond. A domestic violence order is a court-issued mandate intended to protect individuals from harm or harassment by another person, typically in the context of a familial or romantic relationship. Violating such an order in New Mexico is a criminal offense that can result in immediate detention. The arrest location suggests the incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Hernandez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
