Las Cruces Man, 33, Booked on Battery of a Peace Officer and Probation Violation

Allegedly... Scott Andrew Lee Perez, 33, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on May 19, 2026. He faces multiple charges including felony counts of battery on a peace officer and probation violation, alongside misdemeanor charges of battery and failure to appear. Records indicate he was taken into custody following incidents at 1050 W. Amador and 1850 Copper Loop, with bond set at $1,000 for the felony battery charge and no bond for the remaining counts. According to news reports regarding his prior legal history, Perez was previously arrested in connection with a 2021 stabbing and break-in incident. KRWG reported at the time that he was charged with attempted murder and other offenses following that investigation. The current booking at the Doña Ana facility involves both new allegations of physical altercations and a reported violation of his existing probation terms. The charges are allegations, and Scott Andrew Lee Perez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
