WATERED DOWN

‘Breaking Bad’ Star Catches a Break After Arrest Over Hose Incident

Raymond Cruz has been cleared of all charges after he was arrested for allegedly spraying water at women near his California home.

Actor Raymond Cruz, best known for his role as a drug cartel enforcer on Breaking Bad, will not face criminal charges following a confrontation at his home in Silver Lake, California, last month in which three women accused him of spraying them with a hose. The incident, which occurred in September, saw Cruz held in police custody for five hours after the women accused the actor of intentionally spraying them with water as he washed his car in front of his home. According to the actor’s agent, Raphael Berko, the conflict began when a group of three women parked extremely close to Cruz’s vehicle. When Cruz asked them to step back to avoid getting wet, they refused and started recording him instead. Berko acknowledged that some water may have “incidentally splashed” on the women as Cruz turned to tell them to stop filming him, but he firmly denied any intentional wrongdoing. The case was dismissed after prosecutors declined to file charges, though no specific reason for the decision was provided.
