Las Cruces Man, 35, Booked on Dwi and Due Care Charges Following Collision

Allegedly... Luke Rosendo Keith, a 35-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 14, 2026. He faces misdemeanor charges of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and failure to exercise due care in a collision. The arrest occurred at 2195 N. Main St. in Las Cruces, and records show he was held under booking number 2600007361 with no bond set at the time of processing. In New Mexico, a charge of driving under the influence involves allegations that a motorist operated a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other controlled substances. The accompanying due care charge typically relates to a driver's legal obligation to avoid collisions and maintain safe operation under prevailing road conditions. These charges are handled within the magistrate or municipal court jurisdiction depending on the specific circumstances of the traffic incident. The charges are allegations, and Luke Rosendo Keith is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
