Las Cruces Woman, 25, Booked on Suspicion of Dwi and Speeding

Allegedly... Dominique Morales, 25, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 23, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody on misdemeanor charges of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and speeding. The arrest occurred at the intersection of University Avenue and Espina Street, and she was processed under booking number 2600006771. In New Mexico, a DWI charge signifies an allegation that a motorist operated a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or chemical substances. The arrest location at a prominent intersection near the university district falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement. No bond amount was specified in the initial booking record for either of the misdemeanor counts. The charges are allegations, and Morales is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
