Nicolas Cage – Reportedly Paid Hefty Bill To Get Son Weston Out of Prison
Per the US Sun, Weston was booked in LA. However, reports say his arrest was in connection to his attack on his mother Christina Fulton in April, which left her with a face filled with bruises.
“I can confirm that Weston Cage Coppola was arrested today for assault with a deadly weapon,” a spokesman for the LAPD said. “He was arrested by LAPD’s 77th Division.”
He was released by 10 am the next day after a member of his family paid the $150,000 bail. While it isn’t conclusive who paid the bill, several are suspecting it was his father, Nicolas Cage.
“The family knew this was going to happen but needless to say, it is a very big shock,” an insider told the US Sun.
Another source close to the family further shared that the arrest was connected to the April incident when he assaulted his mother with no provocation.

Fulton had previously shared a statement, explaining what led to the horrific incident and what it really was about. She insisted that “Weston and I had no argument prior to the incident.”
“On Sunday April 28, I was reached out to by several of Weston’s best friends for assistance because they were experiencing Weston in a mental-health crisis.”
When Fulton arrived she claimed she “acted swiftly to ensure Weston’s safety.”
“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,” she continued. “I have always supported helping my son with mental-health struggles. I am doing all I can to get him the continued support he needs.”
