LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) An arrest warrant has been issued for a southern New Mexico man who allegedly slapped his girlfriend and threatened to kill her and her children after an argument about when she woke him to get ready to work. Dona County sheriff's investigators are seeking 35-year-old Jorge Martinez, who is charged with false imprisonment and battery against a household member.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that the woman told investigators that she woke Martinez shortly before 6 a.m. Tuesday and that that they argued when he said she didn't wake him early enough.
The woman told investigators that Martinez then slapped her and later threatened to kill her, her 3-year-old daughter and their infant son.
