NEW ORLEANS — Actor Nicolas Cage was arrested after he got drunk in the city's French Quarter and argued in the street with his wife over whether a house they were in front of was theirs, police said Saturday.

Police said in a press release Saturday that Cage was arrested the previous evening. Police said the couple was in front of a home that Cage insisted they were renting. She said it wasn't theirs, and Cage then grabbed her arm.

The release said Cage started hitting vehicles and tried to get into a taxi. A police officer saw that Cage was drunk and told him to get out of the cab. Cage then started yelling at the officer.

The actor has been booked on charges of domestic abuse battery, disturbing the peace and public drunkenness. He remained in the Orleans Parish Prison on Saturday afternoon. A judge set his bond at $11,000.

Representatives for Cage could not immediately be reached Saturday.

Cage has been a frequent visitor to New Orleans, where he has owned property and shot movies in the past. He has also had financial troubles, despite being one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood.

He had been behind on taxes and has said he's had to sell numerous assets because of his finances. He sued his former business manager in October 2009 for $20 million, claiming the man's advice led him to financial ruin.

Cage won an Academy Award for his performance in 1995's "Leaving Las Vegas."

He should've been arrested years ago for all the bombs he made at the movies.

News of his arrest doesn't surprise me at all, but reading that he's married (or was...) is a surprise. Who the heck is his wife and when did he get married?

She is an Orient woman named Alice and they have a son, Kal-el (what a name), together

Before that, he was married to Patricia Arquette (Medium) and briefly - to Lisa Marie Presley.

Nicolas Cage Escapes Domestic Abuse Charges
By John Mitchell
Posted May 6th 2011

Actor Nicolas Cage will not be charged with domestic abuse following a drunken night in New Orleans that saw the Oscar-winning actor allegedly grab his wife Alice during verbal argument in front of a taxi driver.

"The evidence did not support charging Cage with a crime," the New Orleans District Attorney told TMZ. Additionally, the actor's wife reportedly declined to press charges and denied any physical contact.
