Las Cruces Man, 58, Booked on Multiple Traffic Charges Including Suspended License

Allegedly... Ramiro Salas, a 58-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 15, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody on Highway 478 under booking number 2600007438. He faces four misdemeanor charges, including driving with a suspended license and various equipment and insurance violations, with no bond currently listed. The charges center on non-moving and documentation-related traffic infractions. A suspended license charge in New Mexico typically involves operating a vehicle while driving privileges have been withdrawn by the Motor Vehicle Division, while the accompanying counts involve a lack of valid registration and proof of insurance. The arrest occurred along a state highway, which falls under the jurisdiction of local or state law enforcement patrolling Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Salas is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
