Los Angeles, July 10, 2024- Weston Cage, 33, son of actor Nicolas Cage, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother, Christina Fulton, 57, during a mental health crisis. The LAPD confirmed that Weston was booked on Wednesday for assault with a deadly weapon, just weeks after his mother was seen with intense bruises on her face.
Weston was released on a $150,000 bail around 10 a.m. The U.S. Sun reported that his father, Nicolas Cage, is believed to have bailed him out. “The family knew this was going to happen but needless to say, it is a very big shock,” a source close to the family said.
The altercation between Weston and Fulton occurred on April 28 in the Los Angeles area, escalating from a verbal dispute to physical violence. An ambulance was reportedly called to check on Fulton, but she declined hospital treatment.
Investigators say Weston was gone by the time police arrived at the scene. Law enforcement will determine if the case will be considered felony battery.
Sources close to Fulton say she was trying to console her son, who was experiencing emotional distress. Fulton has denied that they got into an argument and has requested privacy.
Onlookers reported seeing the actress sitting in a parking meter area with a black eye and fading bruises. She was later seen hugging an unknown friend.
Previously, Fulton stated that she had reached out to some of Weston’s friends for assistance on April 28 due to his mental health crisis. She described the situation as a “horrific experience” due to her son’s severe mental state.
