Las Cruces Man, 42, Booked on Misdemeanor Suspended-License Charge Near I-25

Allegedly... Brian Martinez, a 42-year-old Las Cruces resident, was booked into a Dona Ana County detention facility on the afternoon of April 10, 2026, according to jail records. The intake was logged under booking number 2600002739. The booking sheet lists a single misdemeanor charge of Driving While License Suspended. The arrest location is recorded simply as an intersection of Interstate 25, a corridor that runs the length of New Mexico from the Colorado line south to Las Cruces and the Texas border. Under New Mexico law, driving on a suspended or revoked license is typically charged as a misdemeanor and can carry jail time, fines and an extension of the underlying suspension. The booking document lists no bond amount, which commonly indicates either release pending a first court appearance or conditions set by a magistrate. Martinez has not been convicted of any offense tied to this booking, and the charge described above is an allegation. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. No additional public reporting on the traffic stop was located at the time of this writing.
