Las Cruces Man, 68, Faces Aggravated Dwi and Weapon Charges

Allegedly... Ronald William Wood, 68, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on June 14, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody near the intersection of Main and Elks and assigned booking number 2600004852. Wood is currently held on suspicion of aggravated driving while under the influence and negligent use of a deadly weapon. At the time of his booking, Wood was held without bond. The aggravated DWI charge is classified as a misdemeanor, while the secondary charge regarding the use of a deadly weapon is listed as a petty misdemeanor. Local records show both allegations stem from the same arrest location, though specific details regarding the nature of the weapon or the circumstances of the traffic stop are not provided in the intake data. The charges are allegations, and Wood is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
