Breaking Bad Actor Raymond Cruz Arrested in Los Angeles Misdemeanor Battery Case

Raymond Cruz, known for his role as Tuco Salamanca on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of misdemeanor battery after an incident involving a garden hose. The LAPD responded to a call about the dispute in the Silver Lake neighborhood, where Cruz allegedly sprayed water on a neighbor's daughter while washing his car. Cruz's agent denied the accusation, stating that Cruz was washing his car when three women parked very close to it, and water unintentionally splashed onto their vehicle while Cruz asked them not to film him. Cruz was booked and released on his own recognizance, with a court date set for October 1. No charges have been filed yet, and the Los Angeles City Attorney may handle the case with a possible office hearing, which could result in a warning or anger management sessions rather than prosecution. Cruz has expressed gratitude toward LAPD officers for their treatment during his custody.
