Diego Sanchez Arrested in New Mexico on Aggravated DWI and Probation Violation

The arrest risks returning him to jail because he remains under five years of court supervision for a 2025 firearm conviction.

Overview

  • Online jail and court records show Sanchez was booked in Socorro County at 5:17 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 7, on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated and a probation violation.
  • Records and local reports list his blood-alcohol level as greater than 0.16, which is the threshold for an aggravated DWI charge in the booking information.
  • Sanchez is serving five years of supervised probation after pleading guilty in March to a 2025 charge for firing a gun from a moving vehicle, and his sentence reportedly included a condition to avoid alcohol.
  • At his March sentencing he acknowledged substance‑use and mental‑health treatment and said he was working on sobriety, a background cited repeatedly in coverage but not determinative of legal outcome.
  • Public details about the traffic stop and the specific probation‑violation claim remain limited; authorities have notified his probation officer and court filings or hearings will determine whether supervision is revoked or further charges follow.
