Nicolas Cage Arrested in New Orleans

Actor Nicolas Cage was arrested at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning, and charged with domestic abuse, public drunkenness and disturbing the peace. He was held for eight hours before having his bail posted by Dog the Bounty Hunter Chapman.

The actor and his wife, Alice Kim, were reportedly arguing loudly on a New Orleans street in the French Quarter when a taxi driver phoned police to reported a domestic in progress.

When police arrived, they urged Cage and his wife to just go home — to the rental property where they are temporarily residing while he is filming a new movie.

Nic wasn’t having any part of it. He repeatedly dared cops to take some legal action by taunting: “Why don’t you just arrest me?”
