Salem Man, 22, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Traffic Charges

Allegedly... Carlos Reyes-soto, a 22-year-old resident of Salem, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 25, 2026. He was processed under booking number 2600005882 following an arrest at the intersection of NM 140 and Harlan Street. Records indicate he faces three misdemeanor charges, including aggravated driving while under the influence, careless driving, and operating a vehicle without insurance. He was held without a bond set at the time of booking. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge typically involves a blood alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing. The careless driving and insurance citations suggest the arrest followed a traffic stop or incident observed by law enforcement on state roads. These charges fall under the jurisdiction of the local magistrate or district court system in Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Reyes-soto is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
