Las Cruces Man, 51, Jailed on Aggravated Dwi and Felony Probation Violation

Allegedly... Russell Theodore Asbill, 51, of Las Cruces was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on March 12, 2026, on three charges, according to jail records. The booking includes a misdemeanor aggravated DWI from a traffic stop at Banegas Road and Leroy, a misdemeanor failure-to-appear count, and a felony probation violation. He is being held without bond. Aggravated DWI in New Mexico generally involves a breath or blood alcohol concentration at or above 0.16, a refusal to submit to testing, or a crash causing injury. A probation violation filed alongside a new DWI commonly reflects an earlier conviction on similar conduct. No news coverage identifying this defendant could be located at the time of publication. Further proceedings would typically run through Doña Ana County Magistrate Court and the Third Judicial District Court. Charges are allegations; Asbill is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
