Weston Cage was arrested early on Wednesday after allegedly assaulting his mother, Christina Fulton. According to TMZ, the son of Nicolas Cage was placed in custody for assault with a deadly weapon, turning himself in with his lawyer present at the LAPD.

Cage posted $150k bond and was released from custody later in the day. According to TMZ, the alleged assault happened back in May and left Fulton with a visible black eye. Cage was named a suspect in a battery report filed after the incident that started as a verbal dispute before allegedly getting physical with an ambulance called to their home.

At the time, TMZ noted that police were looking into the incident as a felony, with the charges placed this week seeming to indicate investigators found more. Fulton reportedly denied there was a verbal dispute and was only there to help her son. Photographs that went public did show her face bruised and swollen.

"Weston and I had no argument prior to the incident," a statement from Fulton said at the time. "On Sunday, April 28, I was reached out to by several of Weston's best friends for assistance because they were experiencing Weston in a mental-health crisis."

Cage has been dealing with divorce proceedings with his wife Hila Cage Coppola, the famous son's third marriage. He was previously married to Danielle Cage from 2013-2016, and Nikki Williams from 2011-2012. He has also had some run-ins with the law over the years, getting arrested for DUI and hit-and-run charges in 2017 and then arrested on domestic violence charges in 2011 with ex-wife Williams.
