Vado Man, 37, Booked on Bribery and Aggravated Dwi Charges in La Mesa

Allegedly... Justin Ross, a 37-year-old resident of Vado, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 22, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of South Highway 28 and Florida Avenue in La Mesa. He faces a felony charge of bribery of a public officer, along with misdemeanor counts of aggravated DWI, lane usage, and driving without a license. Ross is being held under booking number 2600005042 without bond. The charges involve a mix of traffic-related allegations and a high-level felony. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge typically indicates a blood alcohol content of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing. The bribery charge is a felony classification used when an individual is accused of offering or giving anything of value to a public official with the intent to influence their professional actions. The no-bond status indicates that the defendant is being held in custody until a preliminary hearing or a conditions of release order is established by the court. The charges are allegations, and Ross is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
