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

Allegedly... Nathan Jakob Knight, a 23-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 27, 2026. Records show he was processed under booking number 2600007805 on two misdemeanor counts. The arrest occurred near the intersection of Union Avenue and College Drive in Las Cruces, and he is currently being held without bond. The primary charges against Knight include driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and a equipment violation regarding tail lamps. A misdemeanor DWI charge in New Mexico generally involves allegations that a driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by the consumption of alcohol or controlled substances. The arrest location indicates the stop was conducted within the city's university district jurisdiction. The charges are allegations, and Knight is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
