Overview

• LAPD responded around 10:40 a.m. Monday to a reported dispute outside Cruz’s Silver Lake home and took him into custody on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.
• An LAPD officer described the encounter as a dispute in which Cruz allegedly sprayed water toward a victim.
• Booking records reviewed by outlets show Cruz was booked early afternoon, released on his own recognizance about two hours later, and is due in court on Oct. 1.
• No criminal charges had been filed as of the latest reports, with the case expected to be handled through the City Attorney’s misdemeanor process.
• Cruz’s agent denies any intentional spraying, saying three unfamiliar women parked close, filmed him while he washed his car, and that any water contact was incidental; accounts differ on whether the complainant involved a single daughter or multiple women.
