Las Cruces Individual Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Weapons Charges

Allegedly... Bucky Garlington was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 15, 2026, following a series of alleged traffic and safety violations. The booking, recorded under number 2600006555, includes misdemeanor charges for aggravated driving while under the influence and negligent use of a deadly weapon. Garlington also faces charges for running a red light and operating a vehicle without insurance. Local records indicate the arrest occurred on East Lohman Avenue, approximately 124 feet west of South Espina Street. A charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon in New Mexico typically involves the discharge or handling of a firearm in a manner that endangers safety or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The aggravated DWI classification suggests a high blood alcohol content or a refusal to submit to testing at the time of the stop. The charges are allegations, and Garlington is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
