Las Cruces Man, 47, Booked on Misdemeanor Driving While License Suspended Charge

Allegedly... Tommy John Ybarra Valdez, a 47-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Oct. 14, 2026. Records indicate he was processed under booking number 2600008224 on a misdemeanor charge of driving while his license was suspended. The arrest occurred near the intersection of Campo Street and Lucero Avenue, and the booking record currently shows a zero-dollar bond. In New Mexico, a charge of driving while a license is suspended or revoked typically involves a traffic stop where the operator is found to have lost driving privileges due to prior administrative or legal actions. This specific booking falls under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement operating within the Las Cruces city limits. The detention facility serves as the primary holding center for individuals awaiting initial court appearances in Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Valdez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
