Las Cruces Woman, 19, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Open Container Charges

Allegedly... Aaliyah Nicole Huerta, 19, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 12, 2026. Records indicate she was processed under booking number 2600005512 on misdemeanor charges of aggravated driving while under the influence and possession of an open container. She was taken into custody at 1230 Plain St. and is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge typically involves a blood alcohol content of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to testing following an arrest. The open container charge refers to the presence of an unsealed alcoholic beverage in the passenger area of a motor vehicle on a public roadway. This arrest occurred within the municipal limits of Las Cruces. The charges are allegations, and Huerta is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
