Las Cruces Man, 37, Booked on Dwi Charge Following Arrest on Spruce Avenue

Allegedly... Benjamin Tatton Tessier, 37, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 8, 2026. He was processed under booking number 2600006317 on a misdemeanor charge of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Tornillo Street and Spruce Avenue and is currently being held without bond. A driving while intoxicated charge in New Mexico generally involves allegations that a motorist operated a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other controlled substances. The arrest location within the city limits of Las Cruces falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement and the county magistrate court system. A no-bond hold typically requires the individual to remain in custody until an initial appearance before a judge. The charges are allegations, and Tessier is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
