Sergio Hernandez, 21, of Santa Teresa Booked on Reckless Driving Charge

Allegedly... Sergio Hernandez, 21, of Santa Teresa, was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center on the evening of April 12, 2026, according to jail records. The booking sheet lists the arrest location as the intersection of Wales Drive and Leeds Drive in Santa Teresa. Hernandez faces a single misdemeanor count of reckless driving, according to the booking record. No bond amount is listed for the charge in the publicly available data. The booking occurred within minutes of a separate booking at the same Santa Teresa intersection involving another 20-year-old driver cited for reckless driving. The booking data does not indicate whether the two arrests are connected, and a search of New Mexico news outlets and law enforcement press releases did not surface additional reporting on either incident. Hernandez has not been convicted of any offense in connection with this booking. The charge is an accusation only, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
