Nicolas Cage Arrested For Domestic Abuse

Published : Saturday, 16 Apr 2011, 12:11 PM EDT

(NewsCore) - NEW ORLEANS -- Actor Nicolas Cage was arrested early Saturday in New Orleans for domestic abuse after a loud public argument with his wife, FOX News Channel reported.

He was taken into police custody and later released on $11,000 bail.

Police said Cage and his wife Alice were standing in front of a property where Cage believed they were renting an apartment, while his wife said the apartment was at another address. He reportedly grabbed her arm to pull her to what he believed was the correct property.

A cab driver witnessed the argument and arm-grabbing, and called police.

When officers arrived on the scene, they reportedly told Cage and his wife to go home. At that point, witnesses said, Cage told officers, "Why don't you just arrest me?" TMZ reported.

Police said Cage began to hit parked cars with his hands, and attempted to get into a taxi before an officer ordered him out of it.

Officers again told the couple to go home, and Cage reportedly dared them again to arrest him.

He was arrested on one count of domestic abuse and one count of disturbing the peace, according to police records.

He was released on $11,000 bail -- $10,000 for the domestic abuse charge and $1,000 for the disturbing the peace charge -- FOX News reported.

His wife reportedly said there was no physical contact and that she does not want to press charges.

Cage, 47, won a Best Actor Oscar for his lead role in the 1995 drama "Leaving Las Vegas."




Should have been charged with bad acting instead of Domestic Assault and Disorderly Conduct

Someone should have been arrested for this:

"Why don't you just arrest me?"

Really, it's like magic. Say it and *poof* it happens.

Someone should have been arrested for this:

Um, I actually like Ghost Rider

[mookster]

Really, I hope that's on video showing him to be a d***bag and literally asking to go to jail. I cannot fathom why, when I give someone the option of leaving or going to jail, they take door #2. Then b**ch and moan on the way to jail about how I'm just messing with them.

Oh well, human stupidity has no bounds, whether someone's a bad actor or just bad at life.

I like it when I'm told they are a taxpayer and pay my salary. Then when they say "Why don't you just arrest me?" I arrest them and answer with: "Just giving you your moneys worth."

Sometimes you really do get what you ask for.

You know, besides the basic premise (not the movie's fault), the only thing wrong with Ghost Rider was that lameass speech he gave the Devil at the end. The rest of the movie was quiet good.

I find it interesting that the argument was over where their apartment was located. Must be nice to have so many residences that its possible to lose one.

yea but eva mendes is hot

[Aerohead]

I wonder if Andy Sanberg will make fun of this incident on the next SNL - I LOVE his Nicholas Cage impersonation! LoL

[btfp]

Just think if he left when told to do so, we would not be wasting our time with this

[Rudy8116]

Hmm. I didn't know he was married.

Hmm. I didn't know he was married.

He's married to a hot Korean woman who used to serve him food at a restaurant.
