Ruidoso Man, 41, Booked on Misdemeanor Driving with a Suspended License

Allegedly... Robert Gabriel Padilla, 41, of Ruidoso, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 26, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Espina and Foster. He faces a single misdemeanor charge of driving while his license was suspended and was held at the facility under booking number 2600005898. In New Mexico, this charge typically involves operating a motor vehicle after driving privileges have been revoked or suspended by the state. The arrest location at a city intersection suggests a traffic stop or police contact within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement. According to the booking record, the subject was processed with no bond set at the time of entry. The charges are allegations, and Padilla is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
