Las Cruces Man, 39, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Speeding Charges

Allegedly... Jesse Morales, 39, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 8, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Amador and Nevarez under booking number 2600004654. He faces misdemeanor charges of aggravated driving while under the influence and speeding. An aggravated DWI charge in New Mexico typically involves allegations that a driver refused a chemical test or maintained a blood-alcohol level of .16 or higher. The booking record lists the bond status for the DWI charge as not applicable at the time of processing, while the speeding charge was assigned a zero-dollar bond. These classifications are used during the initial intake process before a formal hearing determines conditions of release. The charges are allegations, and Morales is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
