Nicolas Cage was arrested on Friday in New Orleans on a domestic abuse charge after an allegedly drunken row with his wife, Alice Kim. A Face Off, you could say.
According to reports, the argument started when the couple couldn't agree on whether the building they were stood in front of was actually the home they're currently renting in the city.
It's claimed Cage then started hitting parked cars before challenging officers to arrest him, which they did, obviously.
Talking to CNN, New Orleans Police Officer Garry Flot said:
"He and his wife were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting. She disagreed, and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address.
"[Cage then] began striking vehicles and later attempted to get into a taxi.
"Police, who had been called by on-lookers, arrived to find Cage heavily intoxicated.
"The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-Up.
"There were no visible signs of injury on his wife's arm."
In a slightly bizarre twist, Duane Chapman - AKA reality star Dog the Bounty Hunter, posted bail and uncaged Cage, calling himself "a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage."
Reports that he was transferred to jail on a convict jet with Steve Buscemi and John Malkovich are unconfirmed.
The 47-year-old Oscar winner, who has previously been married to Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley, has had well-documented financial problems in recent years and was even rumoured to be facing bankruptcy at one point (in the end, he just flogged a few of his homes).
He is now due in court on 31 May 2011. Regardless of the verdict, I'd like to know who was actually right in the disagreement…. WAS it their home?
