El Paso Man, 27, Booked on Aggravated Dwi Charge in Doña Ana County

Allegedly... Jawan De Shawn R L Harris Tappin, 27, of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 21, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor offense. The booking, logged under number 2600005025, followed an arrest at the intersection of Stern Drive and Mile Marker 18. At the time of his intake, Harris Tappin was being held without bond. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge is typically applied when a driver refuses a chemical test or when their blood alcohol content is measured at .16 or higher, which is twice the legal limit. The arrest location on Stern Drive suggests the contact occurred within the jurisdiction of county or state patrol units operating near that corridor. The charges are allegations, and Harris Tappin is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
