Las Cruces Man, 46, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Driving with Suspended License

Allegedly... Israel Leon, a 46-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 16, 2026. He faces misdemeanor charges of aggravated driving while under the influence and driving while his license was suspended. The booking, recorded under number 2600006570, followed an arrest at the intersection of Idaho Avenue and Solano Drive in Las Cruces. Records indicate he is currently being held without bond. An aggravated DWI 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 location of the stop falls under the jurisdiction of local municipal and county law enforcement. These charges represent a formal entry into the judicial system following a traffic-related detention. The charges are allegations, and Leon is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
