A 10-person fight, a baby cut by broken glass, and a loaded rifle: Details of a Las Cruces child abuse arrest

Update: A detective with LCPD's Criminal Investigation Division stated in an arrest affidavit that when officers arrived, they found 10 people involved in an altercation outside.

Court documents state that Jaime was holding a rifle and two officers had to wrestle it away from him. Jaime then allegedly resisted arrest, spitting in an officer's face and kicking another's thigh, court documents state.

Investigators later learned by speaking with one of Jaime's household members that an argument had started earlier in the day. Jaime is accused of pushing the person to the floor and banging their head repeatedly.

Two other people then arrived at the home. Jaime allegedly fought one of them. He allegedly pointed the rifle at the other person, who was carrying a small infant at the time. Court documents state Jaime loaded the rifle while it was pointed at the person.

Jaime is then accused of punching through a car window. The baby was inside the car at the time and suffered lacerations from the broken glass.
