El Paso Man, 20, Booked on Dwi and Open Container Charges in Doña Ana County

Allegedly... Marc Christian Gomez, a 20-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 11, 2026. He faces multiple misdemeanor allegations including driving under the influence of liquor or drugs, possession of an open container, operating a vehicle without insurance, and following too closely. Records indicate the arrest took place on Interstate 10, and he was held under booking number 2600007270 with no bond initially set. A driving while intoxicated charge in New Mexico generally involves the allegation that a motorist operated a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other substances. The additional traffic citations and open container charge suggest the stop originated from a moving violation on the interstate. As a misdemeanor booking, the case will likely be handled through the local magistrate or magistrate-level court system. The charges are allegations, and Gomez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
