Canutillo Man, 19, Booked Into Doña Ana County on Dwi and Felony Charges

Allegedly... Shai Alva, a 19-year-old resident of Canutillo, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on April 27, 2026. He faces charges of driving under the influence of liquor or drugs and a felony court commitment. Records indicate Alva was taken into custody at locations on McNutt Road and Copper Loop in Las Cruces and is currently held without bond under booking number 2600003290. According to news reports regarding a domestic incident in Sunland Park, Alva was also accused of aggravated battery against a household member, interference with communications, and false imprisonment. Court documents cited by KVIA indicate the booking followed these reported events. The current charges reflect both the traffic-related allegation and the felony commitment order. The charges are allegations, and Alva is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
