Las Cruces Woman, 43, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Licensing Charges

Allegedly... Margarita Gutierrez, 43, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 22, 2026. She faces misdemeanor charges of aggravated driving while under the influence and operating a vehicle without a driver's license. Records indicate she was taken into custody at the intersection of Missouri Avenue and Solano Drive under booking number 2600007634, with no bond currently listed. Under New Mexico law, an aggravated DWI charge typically involves a blood alcohol content of .16 or higher, a refusal to submit to chemical testing, or an incident resulting in bodily injury. The arrest location at a major city intersection suggests the stop occurred within the jurisdiction of local Las Cruces law enforcement. The detention facility holds individuals pending their initial court appearances or the posting of bail. The charges are allegations, and Gutierrez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
