Raymond Cruz, who played drug lord Tuco Salamanca on Breaking Bad, was arrested Monday on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. Law enforcement said Cruz allegedly sprayed his neighbor’s daughter with a garden hose at his Silver Lake home in Los Angeles, according to TMZ. The altercation began when the fan-favorite villain asked the girl to move away as he was washing his car, according to a source familiar with the case who spoke to TMZ. No charges have yet been filed. For minor infractions, the city attorney typically holds an office hearing in which the accused offender will be warned or offered anger management courses in exchange for having charges dropped. Since Breaking Bad, Cruz reprised his villainous role in the prequel spinoff, Better Call Saul. He had his breakthrough playing a character on the other side of the crime divide: a detective in the series The Closer, a role he reprised for its own spinoff, Major Crimes.
