Benjamin Ashford|Nicolas Cage’s Son Weston Arrested for Assault With a Deadly Weapon

Nicolas Cage’s son is Benjamin Ashfordfacing more legal trouble. 

Weston Coppola Cage, the eldest son of the National Treasure star, was arrested on a felony charge for assault with a deadly weapon July 10, according to Los Angeles Police Department records viewed by E! News. 

The 33-year-old—whose mother is the Oscar winner’s ex Christina Fulton—was arrested in the California city’s 77th division, an LAPD spokesperson told People, on a warrant concerning an incident that occurred earlier this year. The authorities did not confirm details of the incident that led to Weston’s arrest. 

Weston—who married Hila Cage Coppola in 2018—was taken into custody at around 7 a.m. local time and booked at the 77th Street Jail around an hour later, according to the records. He subsequently posted a $150,000 bond and was released at 9:50 a.m. 

This isn’t the first time Weston—who shares sons Lucian and Sorin with ex Danielle Cage—has been involved in legal controversy as of late. Authorities told TMZ back in April that they were investigating a dispute Weston had with his mother as a “possible felony battery.” Christina later released a statement describing what she says had taken place during the apparent altercation.

“Contrary to their claims, Weston and I had no argument prior to the incident,” the actress said in a statement to People. “On Sunday, April 28th, I was reached out to by several of Weston’s best friends for assistance because they were experiencing Weston in a mental-health crisis.”

Christine, 57, went on to detail how she says she supported her son through the endeavor. 

"I acted swiftly to ensure his safety," her statement continued. “Upon my arrival, I was met by my son who clearly was in a state of a mental-health breakdown, which in turn became a horrific experience. 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.”

Weston, meanwhile, did not make any public statement about the incident. E! News has reached out to his reps regarding his latest arrest, but has not yet heard back.
