El Paso Man, 45, Booked on Dwi Charge at Las Alturas and Cholla

Allegedly... Christopher Kirtley, a 45-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was arrested and booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 20, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Las Alturas Drive and Cholla Road. Registered under booking number 2600007570, he faces a misdemeanor charge of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and was held without bond at the time of processing. In New Mexico, a charge for driving under the influence involves allegations that an individual operated a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, controlled substances, or a combination of both. The arrest location at a specific roadway intersection indicates the stop occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County. A no-bond status typically requires a preliminary appearance before a magistrate to determine conditions of release. The charges are allegations, and Kirtley is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
