Actor Raymond Cruz, who played the maniacally murderous meth trafficker Tuco Salamanca on the television series “Breaking Bad,” was free on bail Tuesday after his arrest for allegedly spraying water at women who he says were harassing him as he was washing a car in front of his Silver Lake home.
The 60-year-old was arrested at 10:35 a.m. Monday and booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Inmate Information Center.
He was released on his own recognizance with a court date scheduled for October.
“Raymond is happy this is done with,” his agent wrote in a statement to media. “He is a big supporter of law enforcement and has no criminal history whatsoever. He has no idea who these women are or why they were harassing him in front of his own home while he was trying to wash a car. They were not neighbors.”

Man gets arrested for spraying water at women who were harassing him while he was washing his car. Maybe because he was "wasting water"?
Meanwhile, the homeless and street thugs shoplift and punch random people, and nothing happens to them.

How is water spraying harassing people a misdemeanor?

Water doesn’t come off very easily. It has to dry over a period of several minutes.

As crap tv goes, it was one of the better shows.

Large amount of it are extremely toxic.

He had a much larger role in the prequel to
Breaking Bad,
Better Call Saul. His character had much more depth in
Saul.
Same goes for the character Hector Salamanca.

It seems so dark.
It is. think for the most part, the underlying moral message is sound. It shows how people get drawn into the drug game, and what it winds up doing to them, and everyone around them. Add Pride (Walt), Rage (Gus and others), Avarice (Many of them), and have mayhem.
If you don't like dark, it is not for you. "Better Call Saul" has a lighter touch, but despite a more comic tone, that one has a lot of death and mayhem as well.
Acting and directing is top notch in both. I say this as one who normally prefers classic TV (Burns and Allen, Fugitive, Prisoner, Twilight Zone, Green Acres, etc.)

Breaking Bad was a great TV show, brilliantly conceived, well-written, and superbly acted. The show followed the transformation and moral decline of a mild-mannered, cancer-afflicted high school chemistry teacher. He begins cooking meth to pay for his treatment and support his family -- and becomes a murderous, money-obsessed meth gangster.

Breaking Bad was a must watch show for me. It draws you in like few others. The same production team also made ‘Better Call Saul’ so I watched all those episodes as well.

Many people watched the great “Breaking Bad” TV show
Thankfully, you didn’t.

This does not seem like a crime, and certainly not something police should be wasting time on. Stabber get a free pass, but a little eater is a crime?
Unless these women were the Wicked Witches of the West, spraying water isn't fatal. Did the women melt?
