Mesquite Man, 42, Booked on Dwi and Careless Driving Charges

Allegedly... Fabian Carpio, a 42-year-old resident of Mesquite, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 10, 2026. He faces misdemeanor charges of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and careless driving. Records indicate the arrest occurred on NM Highway 478, approximately 1,646 feet north of TA, with the booking recorded under number 2600007218. A DWI charge in New Mexico generally involves allegations of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or controlled substances to a degree that renders the driver incapable of safely operating the vehicle. The careless driving charge typically pertains to operating a vehicle in a manner that disregards the safety of others or property. Both charges are currently listed with no bond set. The charges are allegations, and Carpio is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
