Las Cruces Man, 21, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Weapon Charges

Allegedly... Matthew James Vega Vigil, a 21-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 13, 2026. He faces multiple misdemeanor allegations following an arrest at the intersection of University Avenue and Chaparral Street. Booking records list the charges as aggravated DWI, negligent use of a deadly weapon, and several traffic violations including lane usage, running a stop sign, and driving without a license. The arrest occurred within the jurisdiction of Doña Ana County, where the suspect was processed under booking number 2600007346. Records indicate that no bond was immediately set for the aggravated DWI charge at the time of processing. The negligent use of a deadly weapon charge in New Mexico typically involves the handling or discharge of a firearm while under the influence of an intoxicant or in a manner that endangers others. The charges are allegations, and Vega Vigil is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
