Las Cruces Man, 58, Booked on Charges of Suspended License and Unpaid Fines

Allegedly... Ramiro Salas, a 58-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 12, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Union Avenue and Gandy Lane on booking number 2600006416. He faces misdemeanor charges including driving with a suspended license and failure to pay fines, with bond currently listed as not applicable or zero. The arrest location suggests the charges stem from a traffic stop or encounter with law enforcement within the Las Cruces city limits. Driving with a suspended license in New Mexico typically involves operating a vehicle after driving privileges have been revoked by the state. Failure to pay fines generally refers to outstanding financial obligations related to prior court citations or judgments. The charges are allegations, and Salas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
