Cage Coppola, 33, was taken into custody by the LAPD Fugitives Department on Wednesday, July 10, for an alleged incident in April. His bail was set at $150,000, but he was released on bond, the Los Angeles Police Department told Us.
While details of the incident are unclear, his mother, Christine Fulton, sustained facial injuries in April after Cage Coppola’s friends allegedly called her to help him during a mental health crisis the week before.
Fulton issued a statement disputing reports of a disagreement between her and Cage Coppola before the alleged altercation.
“Weston and I had no argument prior to the incident,” Fulton said.
“On Sunday, April 28, several of Weston’s friends reached out for assistance because they were experiencing Weston in a mental health crisis.”
Fulton added that she “acted swiftly to ensure Weston’s safety” and that the experience was horrific due to her son’s mental health breakdown.
“I have always supported helping my son with his mental health struggles. I am doing all I can to get him the continued support he needs,” she stated.
Cage Coppola has had several legal issues over the years. In 2017, he was arrested on DUI and hit-and-run charges after hitting stop signs, a street sign, parked cars, and mailboxes before crashing into a tree and fleeing the scene. He was not charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
Cage Coppola was also arrested on domestic violence charges in 2011 along with ex-wife Nikki Williams. He denied attacking his wife in a statement on Facebook, according to reports.
Cage Coppola is one of Nicolas Cage’s three children. The National Treasure star also has an 18-year-old son, Kal-El Coppola, with his third wife, Alice Kim, and a 1-year-old daughter, August Francesca Coppola Cage, with his current and fifth wife, Riko Shibata.
