Animas Man, 21, Booked on Aggravated Dwi Charge in Las Cruces

Allegedly... Erick Sanchez, 21, of Animas, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 17, 2026. Sanchez faces a misdemeanor charge of aggravated driving while under the influence. He was assigned booking number 2600006600 and is currently being held without bond following his arrest near the intersection of South Espina Street and East University Avenue. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge typically indicates an alleged blood alcohol content of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing following an arrest. The location of the stop at a major intersection near the university campus places the incident within the jurisdiction of local municipal or campus law enforcement. A no-bond hold requires the individual to remain in custody until a preliminary appearance before a magistrate. The charges are allegations, and Sanchez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
