Las Cruces Man, 23, Booked on Suspicion of Dwi and Traffic Violations

Allegedly... Maximus Ryan Brice Kirk, a 23-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 9, 2026. Under booking number 2600005440, he faces misdemeanor charges for driving under the influence of liquor or drugs, speeding, and operating a vehicle with no registration or an expired plate. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of South Valley Drive and South Main Street and is currently held without bond. A driving while intoxicated charge in New Mexico generally involves allegations that a motorist operated a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or controlled substances. The secondary charges for speeding and registration violations suggest the arrest originated from a traffic stop conducted by local law enforcement within the Las Cruces city limits. This jurisdiction falls under the oversight of the Doña Ana County magistrate or district court system. The charges are allegations, and Kirk is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
