Chamberino Man, 20, Booked on Dwi Charge Following July 4 Arrest

Allegedly... Brian Medina, a 20-year-old resident of Chamberino, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 4, 2026. He was processed under booking number 2600005317 on a misdemeanor charge of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs. Records indicate he is being held without bond following an arrest on South NM Highway 28. The arrest occurred on a section of the highway near the La Union area. Driving while intoxicated (DWI) charges in New Mexico generally involve the operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or controlled substances to a degree that renders the driver incapable of safely operating the vehicle. This specific stop took place approximately 423 feet south of the intersection at La Union. The charges are allegations, and Brian Medina is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
