Breaking Bad Actor Raymond Cruz Arrested After He Allegedly Sprayed Water at Woman By Christine Pelisek

Raymond Cruz, the actor who played drug lord Tuco Salamanca on Breaking Bad, was arrested Monday, Sept. 8, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.

The incident occurred around 10:40 a.m.

“There was basically a dispute with the victim, which is when Cruz allegedly sprayed water towards the victim,” LAPD officer David Cuellar tells PEOPLE.

His arrest was first reported by TMZ.

Cruz’s talent agent Raphael Berko tells PEOPLE that Cruz, who also starred in The Closer and its spinoff Major Crimes, was washing his car in front of his home in Los Angeles when a white minivan with three women parked “a half an inch” from his bumper.

Berko says Cruz asked them to move their vehicle.

“They said no,” Berko says. “He goes, ‘come on, move your car. You’re not giving me room, and it’s going to get wet.’ So, he said, ‘okay.’ He started to clean his car and then they started filming him.”

Berko says he asked them not to film him and “when he turned around to tell them to stop filming him, he was still hosing his car. And some of the water from his hose hit the front of his car and spilled on their car.”

“And then believe it or not, one of them called the police,” he says. “And somehow someone who’s never been arrested in his life, someone who played a police detective for 15 years on The Closer and Major Crimes, someone who lives in that neighborhood, was put in handcuffs and taken to jail.”

“Raymond’s very grateful to all of the LAPD personnel at the police department because throughout the five hours of him being in their jail, the LAPD were all very, very gracious and nice to him and reassuring,” says Berko.

According to online booking records, Cruz was released from police custody on his own recognizance and is due back in court Oct. 1.

Misdemeanor charges have yet to be filed against the actor.
