The Arrest of Weston Cage
Weston Coppola Cage, son of Hollywood veteran, Nicholas Cage, has found himself in hot water. The 33-year-old musician and actor was reportedly arrested in Los Angeles for assault with a deadly weapon on Wednesday. According to People magazine, he was later released, only after posting a robust $150,000 bond.
Reported Batteries Stemming Back Months
This arrest is believed to be linked to an episode dating back to May. The incident is said to involve Weston’s mother, Christina Fulton, with whom the police filed a battery report.
The former model relayed to People magazine about her son’s suffering from a “mental-health breakdown” that evolved into a “horrific experience”. Though the incident was reportedly physical, in which Fulton’s face showed significant bruising and a black eye as seen in photos by TMZ, no immediate arrests were made then.
Fame Alongside Infamy
Fulton, aged 57, once graced her presence in the modeling industry and also dipped her feet into Hollywood. She appeared in the film ‘Snake Eyes’, which also starred Nicholas Cage in 1998. Weston, following in his parents’ acting footsteps, has also secured a few roles and dabbled in music. He notably teamed up with his famed father in the 2005 film ‘Lord of War.’
Family Ties
In a recent interview, Nicholas Cage, recipient of an Academy award, talked about fatherhood to his three kids, each from different mothers. “Every child is different,” he told The New Yorker, before adding, “There’s a different kind of level of attention,” hinting towards the difficulties of raising children with different backgrounds and environments.
LAPD Maintains Silence
As of writing, the Los Angeles Police Department has remained tight-lipped and not responded to a Daily News request for comment regarding the incident. Gossip-heavy TMZ reports that Weston was accompanied by his attorney while surrendering himself to the authorities early Wednesday morning.
On-going Investigations
While the alleged assault with a deadly weapon makes headlines, the details surrounding the incident have yet to surface. When asked to comment, People magazine denied confirming the arrest’s connection to this alleged episode.
In conclusion, the saga of the Cage family continues to pique interest. Weston Cage’s arrest has added a new chapter to this dramatic narrative that mingles fame with potential felony. As the investigation continues, and whilst the family grapples with these unsettling developments, fans and curious bystanders alike await further news.
