Las Cruces Man, 18, Booked on Aggravated Dwi Charge

Allegedly... Samuel Archuleta, 18, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 28, 2026. Archuleta was taken into custody on suspicion of aggravated driving while under the influence. According to booking records, he was arrested at 200 N. Solano Drive in Las Cruces and held without bond under booking number 2600005949. In New Mexico, an aggravated DWI charge is typically issued when a driver refuses a chemical test or records a blood alcohol concentration significantly above the legal limit. The arrest location at the intersection of North Solano Drive serves as the jurisdictional basis for the local municipal or magistrate court proceedings. A no-bond hold indicates the individual is being detained pending a preliminary hearing or further judicial review. The charges are allegations, and Archuleta is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
