Las Cruces Man, 38, Booked on Aggravated Dwi Charge

Allegedly... Derek Tarro, 38, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 1, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated driving while under the influence. The arrest was processed under booking number 2600006105, and he is currently held without bond. The arrest occurred near the intersection of North Valley Drive and Tierra Del Sol Drive. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge typically involves an alleged blood alcohol concentration of 0.16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing following an arrest. This specific classification represents a more serious tier of traffic safety violations under state statutes. The charges are allegations, and Tarro is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
