*Breaking Bad* actor Raymond Cruz will not be prosecuted following his recent arrest for allegedly spraying someone with a hose while washing his car at home in Los Angeles.

Berko claimed that three women had parked their car near Cruz's while he was washing his vehicle, and noted that his client is an extremely private person who has "never even had a jaywalking ticket."
