Primary Statutory Classification

Arrest & Procedural Roadmap
New Mexico District Practice
Sept 8, 2026 — Initial Booking
Reported Arrest & Breathalyzer Submission
Arrest confirmed by TMZ. Law enforcement detains Diego Sanchez under suspected DUI. Test indicates approximately 0.11% BAC. Notice of probation violation generated automatically.
Within 48–72 Hours
Probation Revocation Arraignment / Hold Hearing
Magistrate or assigned sentencing judge reviews affidavit of violation. Due to alcohol prohibition order, a "no bond" hold is standard until evidentiary probation hearing.
Approx. 14–21 Days Post-Arrest
Formal Evidentiary Hearing (Rule 5-805)
State bears burden of proof by preponderance of evidence (not beyond reasonable doubt). A confirmed chemical test virtually guarantees sustained violation finding.
30–60 Days Post-Arrest
Substantive DUI Pre-Trial Conference
Independent criminal prosecution moves forward concurrently with probation revocation disposition.
