Raymond Cruz Arrested in Silver Lake Hose Dispute, Released Pending Oct. 1 Court Date

The L.A. City Attorney is reviewing the case following his same-day release on his own recognizance with a court appearance set for Oct. 1.

Overview

  • LAPD says officers responded around 10:40 a.m. on Sept. 8, where a private person’s arrest was made for suspected misdemeanor battery.
  • Los Angeles County records show Cruz was booked early afternoon and released the same day on his own recognizance.
  • Police and initial reports allege he sprayed water toward a woman during a dispute outside his Silver Lake home while he washed his car.
  • Cruz’s agent denies intentional spraying, saying three women parked inches from his car, recorded him, and were splashed inadvertently as he told them to stop filming.
  • No formal charges are listed in public records, and the misdemeanor complaint is expected to be evaluated by the L.A. City Attorney, which could include an office hearing or diversion.
