MESILLA - A woman was arrested after authorities said deputies found her naked in a bathtub while responding to a burglary report at a Mesilla home.
Christi Marie Poston, 46, was charged with burglary of a dwelling, breaking and entering, criminal trespass and two counts of failure to comply with conditions of release, according to the Mesilla Marshal’s Office.
The incident was reported June 19 at a residence on McDowell Street, where Mesilla marshals and Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched for a residential burglary in progress.
