Las Cruces Man, 24, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Resisting Charges

Allegedly... Alex Rafael Hernandez, a 24-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 16, 2026. He faces several misdemeanor charges including aggravated DWI, resisting or obstructing an officer, shoplifting between $100 and $500, and driving with a suspended license. The booking record, numbered 2600007447, indicates he was taken into custody at a residence on Sharon Q Lane in Radium Springs and is currently held without bond. An aggravated DWI charge in New Mexico typically involves a blood alcohol content of 0.16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to testing during the traffic stop. The additional charges of resisting and driving on a suspended license suggest a sequence of events beginning with a reported shoplifting incident that escalated during the law enforcement response. These misdemeanor classifications are handled within the county magistrate court system. The charges are allegations, and Hernandez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
