How was Raymond Cruz’s arrest
Cruz’s representative, Raphael Berko, told People that Cruz, who also starred The Closer and your spin-off Major Crimehe was washing his car in front of his house in Los Angeles when a white minivan with three women parked “half inch” of his bumper.
Berko says Cruz asked them to move their vehicle.
“They said no,” says Berko. “He said: ‘Go, move the car. You’re not giving me space and it’s going to wet.’ So he said: ‘Ok’. He started cleaning the car and then started recording it.”
Berko says he asked them not to record it and that “when he turned around to ask them to stop recording it, he kept spraying his car with his hose. Part of the water of the hose hit the front of the car and spilled on theirs“
“And then, believe it or not, one of them called the police”says. “And in some way, someone who had never been arrested in his life, someone who played a police detective for 15 years in The Closer and Major Crime, someone who lives in that neighborhood, was handcuffed and taken to jail.”
“Raymond is very grateful to all the staff of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) because, during the five hours in jail, everyone was very friendly and attentive to him, and gave him peace of mind,” says Berko.
According to online reserve records, Cruz was released from police custody under his own responsibility and must return to the court on October 1.
They have not yet filed for minor crime against the actor.
