Las Cruces Man, 33, Booked for Driving While License Suspended

Allegedly... Jose Alberto Mata, 33, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 3, 2026. Records show he was processed under booking number 2600006168 on a misdemeanor charge of driving while his license was suspended. Mata was arrested near South Valley Drive, approximately 539 feet south of West Amador in Las Cruces, and is currently being held without bond. The charge of driving with a suspended license generally involves operating a motor vehicle after driving privileges have been revoked or restricted by the state. This specific arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of the Las Cruces police or county sheriff's department based on the South Valley Drive location. A no-bond hold indicates that the individual is being detained without a set financial requirement for release at this time. The charges are allegations, and Jose Alberto Mata is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
