Las Cruces Man, 44, Booked on Aggravated Dwi Charge in Chaparral

Allegedly... Luis Arturo Santillan, a 44-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 20, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of aggravated DWI following an incident at Highway 404 and mile marker 6 in Chaparral, New Mexico. He is currently being held without bond under booking number 2600005721. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge typically involves an alleged blood alcohol content of 0.16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing. The arrest location falls within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where local law enforcement monitors high-traffic transit corridors like Highway 404. A no-bond hold signifies that the individual is being detained pending a preliminary court appearance or a conditions-of-release hearing. The charges are allegations, and Santillan is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
