Las Cruces Man, 28, Booked on Aggravated Dwi and Resisting Charges

Allegedly... Xavier Lopez, a 28-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 20, 2026. Authorities processed him under booking number 2600007561 on three misdemeanor charges: aggravated D.W.I., assault, and resisting or obstructing an officer. The arrest occurred at 1540 Idaho Avenue, and records indicate he is currently held without bond. An aggravated driving while intoxicated charge in New Mexico typically involves a blood alcohol content of .16 or higher, or a refusal to submit to chemical testing. The accompanying charges for resisting and assault suggest an interaction with law enforcement or others during the initial stop that escalated the encounter. These misdemeanor classifications are handled within the county's magistrate or municipal court systems. The charges are allegations, and Xavier Lopez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
