Las Cruces Man, 36, Booked on Suspicion of Dwi and Registration Violations

Allegedly... Julian Macias, 36, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 4, 2026. Records indicate he was assigned booking number 2600005316 and is being held without bond. The arrest occurred on Interstate 10 westbound at mile marker 147, where he was charged with driving under the influence of liquor or drugs and operating a vehicle with no registration or an expired plate. The charges involve alleged traffic and safety violations encountered by law enforcement on the interstate. In New Mexico, a misdemeanor DWI charge typically involves the operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or controlled substances to a degree that renders the driver incapable of safely operating the vehicle. The additional registration charge suggests the vehicle was not in compliance with state licensing requirements at the time of the stop. The charges are allegations, and Macias is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
