LAS CRUCES 鈥� Kimberly Skaggs remains in jail after the New Mexico Court of Appeals upheld a local judge鈥檚 order detaining her.

Skaggs, 54, was arrested in June on charges of leaving the scene of a fatal vehicle crash and tampering with evidence. On June 22, Andrew Brown, 40, was struck and killed while crossing a two-lane road west of Las Cruces on his bicycle. Police used eyewitness photos, video footage and GPS data to identify and locate the vehicle, which had been parked out of public view on an unoccupied property owned by Skaggs.

At her detention hearing, prosecutors presented evidence that Skaggs or an employee of her business had, within a few hours of the crash, canceled the vehicle鈥檚 registration plate and requested a new one. The vehicle, an SUV, was a fleet vehicle associated with Skaggs鈥� business, 50 State DMV, which assists customers with vehicle titles and registrations.

In addition to her business, Skaggs is known as a civic volunteer in Tularosa and Las Cruces, a former candidate for the state Legislature, and 鈥� until she surrendered to authorities on June 24 鈥� the state Republican Party鈥檚 treasurer. 

State District Judge Conrad Perea ruled that Skaggs鈥� history of moving violations, while most had been dismissed, plus evidence that Skaggs was speeding on the two-lane road where Brown was killed, indicated that she was dangerous and that no conditions of release would ensure the public鈥檚 safety.

The Court of Appeals affirmed Perea鈥檚 order in a single-paragraph ruling that did not detail the panel鈥檚 reasoning.

Skaggs argued that Perea ordered her detention despite her lack of criminal history or failures to appear in court, plus a recommendation from Pretrial Services that she be released on her own recognizance. Her attorney alleged that Perea did not give due consideration to less restrictive conditions ahead of trial and instead acted arbitrarily.

In a response filed in court, the state Department of Justice said Skaggs had been stopped for speeding and other traffic offenses seven times from 2012 through 2025, although she was only adjudicated guilty in a 2012 case for driving left of center and exceeding the speed limit by 11 to 15 mph. Other cases were likely dropped because a prosecutor or a police officer failed to appear in court. In September 2025, Las Cruces police issued Skaggs a warning for street racing 鈥� exhibition driving.

Prosecutors said, based on skid marks at the crash scene, Skaggs had been traveling anywhere from 49 to 69 mph on a road where the posted speed limit is 45.

Brock Benjamin, Skaggs鈥� defense attorney, said he was 鈥渆xtremely disappointed鈥� by the outcome, particularly since the ruling did not include an opinion from the appeals court and left him 鈥渁 little confused鈥� about how it weighed Skaggs鈥� due process rights against the state鈥檚 response. 

A status hearing for Skaggs鈥� trial is scheduled for August.
