A washed out alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas? This one's the real deal.
Just what Nicolas Cage needs to give his waning movie career the needed boost. That's to keep the hungry public tuned in.
The Oscar winning actor reportedly caught the attention of authorities following a drunken altercation with his wife on a street in the city's French Quarter on a late Friday evening.
According to New Orleans Police spokesman Garry Flot in a written statement, Cage, 47, was booked on grounds of disturbing the peace and public drunkenness as well as suspicion of domestic abuse battery. He was taken into custody at around 11:30 p.pm. on Friday.
Flot further narrates in the statement that Cage and his wife were engaged in an argument while standing in front of a residence that the 'Ghostrider' star claimed to be the property the couple were renting.
A disagreement eventually led to Cage grabbing the spouse's "upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address." The actor also vented his anger towards nearby vehicles, hitting cars and even attempted to enter a taxi cab.
The said commotion alarmed an officer who drove towards the couple amidst bystanders and commanded the obviously intoxicated Cage out of the cab. This provoked the actor to begin screaming, which led to authorities escorting him to Central Lock-up.
Flot discloses that despite Cage's alleged mistreatment towards his wife, there were no visible injuries on the latter. Cage, meanwhile, is scheduled to appear in court on the 31st of May.
Get your act together, ol' buddy.
