El Paso Woman, 54, Booked on Dwi and Open Container Charges in Santa Teresa

Allegedly... Maria Guadalupe Rodriguez, 54, of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 29, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 4800 McNutt Road and assigned booking number 2600006915. She faces misdemeanor charges of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and possession of an open container, with bond currently set at zero dollars. The arrest took place in the Santa Teresa area, a common transit corridor near the New Mexico-Texas border. A charge of driving while under the influence typically involves an allegation that a motorist’s ability to operate a vehicle was impaired by alcohol, controlled substances, or a combination of both. The open container charge refers to the presence of an unsealed alcoholic beverage within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The charges are allegations, and Rodriguez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
