Las Cruces Man, 65, Booked on Driving with Suspended License and No Insurance

Allegedly... Albert B Padilla, 65, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 16, 2026. He faces misdemeanor charges of driving while his license was suspended and operating a motor vehicle without insurance. The booking, assigned number 2600007462, followed an arrest at the intersection of Union Avenue and Turquoise Avenue. Under New Mexico law, driving on a suspended license and failing to maintain vehicle insurance are classified as traffic misdemeanors. These charges typically involve administrative penalties alongside potential fines or jail time. The record indicates that no bond was set at the time of his initial processing at the county facility. The charges are allegations, and Padilla is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
