Las Cruces Man, 20, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Collision Charges

Allegedly... X-avier Noah Rael, 20, of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Aug. 22, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at 426 E Las Cruces Ave under booking number 2600006753. He faces multiple misdemeanor charges, including aggravated DWI, criminal trespass, due care-collision, and failure to provide immediate notice of an accident. Rael is currently held without bond. The charges stem from an incident involving a vehicle collision and subsequent allegations of impaired driving. Aggravated DWI in New Mexico typically involves a blood-alcohol content of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing following an arrest. The additional charges suggest a sequence where a driver failed to remain at the scene or report a crash properly before being located by law enforcement. The charges are allegations, and Rael is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
