Nicolas Cage has been arrested in New Orleans after a public argument between him and his wife. The actor is currently on location filming a thriller called ‘Medallion’.
Reportedly a passing taxi driver decided to call the police as Cage looked “very drunk” and was yelling at his wife. He also claimed that he saw Cage push his wife. Police arrived at the scene, told Cage and his wife to go home, but apparently a drunk and stubborn Cage said to the police,
“Why don’t you just arrest me?”
So they did exactly that. Police charged Cage with domestic abuse and disturbing the peace, he’s being held on $11,000 bail. A few hours later reality show star Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman paid his bail. Chapman released a statement;
“I am a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client as I wish to respect his privacy…..I performed my duties as a bail bondsman and not in connection with our show. This is what I do for a living. There are two sides of my job: I release my clients after they have been arrested; and pick them up if they don’t show up in court. I do not believe the latter will be the case for Mr. Cage.”
