Las Cruces Man, 22, Booked on Dwi Charge at Solano and Amador Intersection

Allegedly... Raul Alberto Alvarez, a 22-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 19, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the intersection of Solano Drive and Amador Avenue under booking number 2600007545. He faces a misdemeanor charge of driving while under the influence of liquor or drugs and is currently held without bond. A DWI charge in New Mexico generally involves allegations that an individual operated a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, controlled substances, or a combination of both to a degree that rendered them incapable of safely driving. The arrest location at a major city intersection falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement within Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Alvarez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
