A 24-year-old woman facing felony warrants tied to a January 2023 drunk-driving case that involved a child in her vehicle was arrested in Socorro on Wednesday morning after deputies tracked her to a home in the 100 block of Sun Park. Elizabeth Saldivar walked out of the residence and was taken into custody without incident once deputies arrived, according to authorities.
Deputies with the El Paso County Constable's Office Precinct 6 arrived at the Sun Park address around 8:20 a.m., as reported by KTSM. A woman at the home told deputies that Saldivar was inside, and Saldivar came out on her own shortly after. KTSM reported that Saldivar was wanted on three felony warrants. KFOX14/CBS4 reported that she was held without bond on two felony warrants and that a $40,000 bond had been set on a third.
Saldivar was taken to the El Paso County Detention Facility, per the KTSM report, and booked on two counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury, along with a charge of driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old. The charges stem from an incident on January 4, 2023, according to the seed reporting.
Bond and Warrant Details
KFOX14/CBS4 reported that Saldivar was held without bond on two felony warrants and that a $40,000 bond had been set on a third. KTSM also reported a $40,000 bond on one intoxication-assault-with-a-vehicle warrant. The reports describe three warrants in total: two with no bond and one with a $40,000 bond.

A Case That Dates Back to 2023
Saldivar was arrested in April 2023 in connection with the same intoxication-assault and child-passenger DWI allegations. The gap between that 2023 case and Wednesday's arrest in Socorro spans more than three years.
Saldivar faces two counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury and a charge of driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old.
Saldivar was booked at the El Paso County Detention Facility following Wednesday's arrest.
