Santa Teresa Man, 26, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Traffic Charges

Allegedly... Dominick Dozal, a 26-year-old resident of Santa Teresa, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 19, 2026. Under booking number 2600007535, he faces multiple misdemeanor charges including aggravated D.W.I., driving with no insurance, speeding, and a traffic control device violation. The arrest occurred at the intersection of Sunland Park and Appaloosa, and records indicate a zero-dollar bond status at the time of processing. An aggravated D.W.I. charge in New Mexico typically involves allegations of a blood-alcohol content of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing following an arrest. The accompanying citations for speeding and traffic control violations suggest the initial contact was initiated during a proactive traffic enforcement stop. These charges fall under the jurisdiction of the local magistrate or municipal court system. The charges are allegations, and Dozal is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
