Las Cruces Man, 48, Booked on Charges of Driving with a Suspended License

Allegedly... Manuel Ortiz Ramirez, a 48-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 27, 2026. He was processed under booking number 2600007803 following an arrest on South Espina Street, south of Wofford. The charges filed against him include driving while license suspended and a traffic control device violation, both classified as misdemeanors. Records indicate he is currently held without bond. The arrest took place within the city limits of Las Cruces, where local law enforcement maintains jurisdiction over traffic-related offenses. A charge of driving with a suspended license typically involves operating a motor vehicle after driving privileges have been revoked or withheld by the state. The traffic control device violation suggests an alleged failure to obey signals or signs at the time of the stop. The charges are allegations, and Ortiz Ramirez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
