Weston Cage and his wife were arrested on felony domestic violence charges yesterday morning.

The 20-year-old heavy metal singer – son of Hollywood star Nicolas Cage – reportedly had an altercation with Nikki Williams, which resulted in him sustaining a cut to his arm with a bottle and her threatening to jump off a balcony.

Police arrested them both at their Los Angeles apartment and, believing Weston, 20, to also have been violent, booked them for domestic violence.

Both of the couple’s bail was set at $50,000, but so far only Weston has managed to post a bond and be released.

As he emerged from the police station Weston – who married musician Nikki on April 24 in New Orleans – showed his bleeding arm to photographers, and said: “I’m not OK, man. Don’t get married.”
Earlier on the previous night, Nikki had said marriage was “tough but wonderful” and that “communication is key”. Both of the couple have recently been released from rehab.

Weston has also recently been involved in an altercation with his fitness trainer, Kevin Villegas, which resulted in him needing eight stitches and having to undergo a psychological evaluation. Following the incident, Kevin has taken out a restraining order against him, requiring him to stay 100 yards away from him and his family.

Weston Cage – Nicolas’ son with former girlfriend Christina Fulton – was taken to a Beverly Hills medical facility by ambulance after an alleged altercation with his fitness trainer at Hollywood eatery The Framer’s Kitchen yesterday afternoon.

The 20-year-old rock musician reportedly lost his cool when the trainer told him he couldn’t order something off the menu and onlookers claim he “freaked out”.

According to TMZ.com, police arrived at the restaurant and, after threatening Weston with a taser if he didn’t obey orders, they were so worried about his behaviour they strapped him to a gurney before transporting him to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

He now may be subject to a 5150 psychiatric hold, which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person deemed to have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to himself or others.

According to other sources, Weston had an argument with his wife Nikki Williams – who he married in April – earlier in the morning, causing him to storm out of the Los Angeles house they share.

INicolas has visited Weston in hospital.

In April, Nicolas, 47, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife Alice Kim during a public argument, although it has since been revealed he won’t be prosecuted.

Actor Nicholas Cage is making gradual progress in his bid to settle a hefty tax debt – he’s managed to pay off $360,545 of the $14 million he owes to America’s Internal Revenue Service.

The extent of the National Treasure star’s money troubles hit the headlines last year when he filed suit against his former business manager, Samuel Levin, accusing the accountant of misleading him and overcharging for his services, sending him “down a path of financial ruin”.

The allegations stemmed from a series of tax liens Cage received from IRS officials, claiming he had failed to pay tax on wages from 2002 to 2004 and 2007.

Levin countersued, alleging Cage squandered his cash on lavish homes and luxury cars and was to blame for his own financial missteps. The legal dispute was settled in August.

However, Cage has finally begun making amends with the IRS and, according to documents obtained by TMZ.com, the actor had made three big repayments by November 10, 2010, totalling $360,545.

The ‘Kick-Ass’ star believes fish and chickens mate in a “dignified” manner and he will consequently eat them, where as he avoids pork because he believes pigs fornicate in an unsavoury manner.

He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: “I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales – sentient life – insects, reptiles.

“I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds. But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.”

Cage’s fascination with the animal kingdom led to him buying a two-headed snake to protect him when he filmed latest movie ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’.

He said: “I met the snake and said, ‘Maybe this will be my bodyguard in New Orleans.’ ”

Cage, 46, is known for his eccentricities and previously professed a willingness to tattoo his head for his role in upcoming vengance movie ‘Drive Angry’.

He said: “Originally I was going to shave my head and tattoo my scalp.

“But the producer didn’t want me to do that. So then I decided that I was gonna embrace the Celtic roots on the other side of my family. So I dyed the hair lighter because I think that’s what the character should look like.”
