"Cage 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," says the NOPD in a statement. "There were no signs of injury on his wife's arm.
"The actor then began striking vehicles and later attempted to get into a taxi. At that point, an officer who had been flagged down by onlookers drove up on the couple, immediately observed that Cage was heavily intoxicated and ordered him out of the cab, which prompted Cage to start yelling.

"The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-up."
Cage was released on $11,000 at 12:35 pm local time.

'pulling/shoving your wife', while it is not nice, is hardly domestic violence. He was drunk, very drunk, not an excuse, but, report said 'hitting cars' not wife. Cage is a drunk, a crude, but, unless she says something, not DV

Two words describe Chuckles Sheen's BBF Nick Cage, and it's not "A-List Actor", it's "DOUCHE BAG". Cage hasn't been in a decent movie in YEARS, and the IRS might just introduce him to the Grey Bar Hotel...

Actually he was arrested in the quarter for reportedly shoving his wife, striking several cars, and yelling loudly in a drunken stupor. He was charged with disturbing the peace, public drunkenness, and suspicion of domestic abuse battery.

He previously had two homes in New Orleans, one being not far from where he was arrested, so he is very familiar with the area.

New Orleans is a wild party city during Mardi Gras, and tourists frequent the French Quarter to get drunk, but the cops there have low tolerance during normal times like any large city where there is a lot of crime.
