14 DAY TRIAL // Nicolas Cage’s son Weston can’t keep himself out of trouble, it would seem. Less than a month after being committed on involuntary hold for psychiatric evaluation and going to rehab immediately afterwards, he’s gotten himself arrested for domestic violence.
Only hours after telling TMZ photographers that he was “four drinks from death” when he was brutally beat up by his father’s assistant in the street, Weston got into a fight with his new wife Nikki Williams.
It is not known what caused the altercation, but it got pretty violent pretty quick, the aforementioned e-zine says.
Both Weston and Nikki were arrested, taken to the police headquarters and booked on felony domestic violence.
“Weston Cage and his wife, Nikki Williams, have both been booked on FELONY domestic after she allegedly went after him with a bottle early this morning... and it all happened just days after both of them got out of rehab,” TMZ reports.
“Witnesses say in addition to cutting him on the arm with a bottle, she punched him wildly and threatened to jump off the balcony,” the report further reads.
“But cops believed Weston was also violent and booked him on felony domestic violence as well,” TMZ adds.
Weston eventually walked on a $50,000 bond, while Nikki remained in custody for a while longer. As he was leaving the station, Cage was intercepted by the paparazzi, telling then he was “not ok” and showing them the cuts on his arm with the advice “never get married, man.”
Ironically enough, hours before the explosive argument, Weston was talking to the same paps – and had only kind words about his wife, who stood by his bedside while he was in the psych ward and then accompanied him to rehab.
He said that, the day he was beat up, if he had more drinks “[my] loyal and beautiful wife and my outstanding father wouldn’t have been visiting me in the psych ward, they would have been visiting me for the last time in an open casket funeral.”
