Breaking Bad actor Raymond Cruz has been arrested for misdemeanour battery, after allegedly spraying a neighbour with a hose outside his house.
According to a report from TMZ, the actor, known for the crime drama and its spin-off, Better Call Saul, was arrested after someone called the police claiming he assaulted their daughter, alleging he blasted her with a garden hose.
