Santa Teresa Man, 30, Booked on Aggravated Dwi Charge

Allegedly... Andy Lopez, a 30-year-old resident of Santa Teresa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 20, 2026. Recorded under booking number 2600005740, he faces a misdemeanor charge of aggravated driving while under the influence. The arrest occurred at the intersection of McNutt Road and Pete Domenici Highway, and the booking record currently lists a zero-dollar bond status. Under New Mexico statutes, an aggravated DWI charge typically involves a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing following an arrest. This specific incident took place within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where local law enforcement monitors high-traffic corridors like McNutt Road for traffic safety compliance. The detention facility maintains these records as part of the public booking process for the region. The charges against Lopez are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
