Fort Bliss soldier arrested on aggravated sexual assault charges
Update (2:32 PM): One of the five men arrested by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Apprehension Unit this week, Fort Bliss soldier Ryder Scott, was arrested on an aggravated battery charge in Las Cruces earlier this year.
ABC-7 reported on Scott's previous charges of aggravated battery on a household member causing great bodily harm, false imprisonment, interference with communication, and battery against a household member in September 2025. At the time, ABC-7 confirmed with Fort Bliss that Scott is a private working as an infantryman assigned to the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division. Court documents state that Las Cruces Police arrested Scott after he allegedly beat up his former partner.
The charges that El Paso County Sheriff deputies arrested Scott on last week stem from a February 2025 incident, according to jail records. Jail records state that the charges were first filed on February 16, 2025. They also reflect the fact that as of Tuesday, Scott remains in the El Paso Jail Annex.
