Las Cruces Woman, 29, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Open Container Charges

Allegedly... Josie Orozco, a 29-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 27, 2026. Records indicate she was arrested near the intersection of East University Avenue and Locus Street. Orozco faces misdemeanor charges of aggravated DWI, careless driving, and possession of an open container, with booking number 2600005177 and no bond currently listed. An aggravated DWI charge in New Mexico typically involves a blood alcohol concentration of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing following an arrest. The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement near the university district, a common area for traffic safety enforcement. These charges represent a combination of moving violations and liquor law infractions handled at the magistrate or municipal court level. The charges are allegations, and Josie Orozco is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
