After being seen drunk and stumbling into a tattoo parlor, the actor was caught on the shop’s video camera arguing with his wife, Alice Kim, and several friends.

Cage left the shop and continued the argument with his wife on the street when a cab driver called 911. After police arrived, Cage taunted the cops into arresting him and taking him to jail. They did.

But eight hours later Cage was bailed out to the tune of $10,000 by none other than Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman told reporters,

"I am a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client as I wish to respect his privacy."

It turns out that the whole mess was over an argument between Cage and his wife regarding the address of a rental house they were staying in.

Cage, the son of university professor August Coppola (a brother of director Francis Ford Coppola), changed his name as a teenager so he would not be forever branded as a gilded offspring of the Coppola family.

He has been married three times and has a child with actress Christina Fulton, who later bore their son, Weston Coppola Cage born in December 1990.

Cage married his first wife, actress Patricia Arquette, in 1995 and divorced in 2001. His second wife was singer Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley. They married in August 2002 but filed for divorce just 108 days later.

His third and current wife Alice Kim was a waitress in a L.A. restaurant and met Cage at a nightclub. They later married and had one son in 2005 named Kal-El after Superman's birth name.

In 2007, Cage fell into financial ruin after blaming his manager, Samuel Levin, for losing all his money. But Levin defended himself by saying that he warned Cage that he was living beyond his means and urged him to spend less.

Levin says that in 2007 Cage's uncontrolled spending included the purchase of a Gulfstream jet, several yachts, three additional residences at a total cost of more than $33 million, 22 automobiles (including 9 Rolls Royce’s); 12 purchases of expensive jewelry; and 47 purchases of artwork and exotic items.

One of those exotic items was a dinosaur skull of a Tarbosaurus dinosaur for which Nicolas Cage paid $276,000 in an auction. He also owned a Castle (Schloss Neidstein) in Germany before selling it to raise cash.

I guess what they say is true – spend it if you got it. But if you don’t got it – don’t spend it.

Nicolas Cage Arrested For Abusing Wife, Taunts Cops, Sprung By Dog the Bounty Hunter

Nicolas Cage was arrested early this morning in New Orleans for domestic abuse against his wife, Alice, along with one count of disturbing the peace.

In town filming a movie called Medallion, Nic and Alice disagreed over the exact address of an apartment they were renting in the city, police report.

Standing in front of a property he believed they were renting, he grabbed her by the arm to pull her to what he believed was the correct address.

Police say there were no visible signs of injury on her arm, but just the same, he joined our celebrity mug shot gallery with this hilarious pic.

The NOPD went on to say Cage then began to hit parked cars and later attempted to get into a taxi. Cops say Cage eventually got into a cab.

A police officer ordered him out ... which "prompted Cage to start yelling" and basically daring cops to arrest him ... which always goes well.

It only got wilder from there.

The police came and told Nic and his wife to just go home, however, that's when the actor allegedly told cops, "Why don't you just arrest me?"

The cops then reiterated that he and his wife should just go home. Cage then repeated his dare to cops, who ultimately decided to oblige.

He was charged with domestic abuse and disturbing the peace.

Later, it was revealed that Alice is reportedly not a complaining witness and doesn't want him charged, saying there was no physical contact.

Nic was then released on bond ... thanks to Duane "Dog" Chapman! Dog and his wife Beth arrived at the scene and sprung him for $11K!

Beth posted on her Twitter, "My guy just walked out of the jail damn new Orleans 8 hours holy cow that's a lot of time to Process one guy."

Nicolas Cage Arrested In New Orleans For Domestic Violence – Developing

Troubled “National Treasure” and financially distressed actor Nicolas Cage was arrested Saturday morning in New Orleans for domestic violence.

It appears that Cage was extremely drunk and was having a load argument with his wife on the streets of New Orleans when a cab driver called police.

But when cops told Cage and his wife to go home, Cage became verbally abusive and dared the police to arrest him. After several minutes, Cage was still taunting the officers so they arrested him for domestic violence AND disturbing the peace.

The cab driver apparently told the police that he saw Cage push his wife but she says there was no inappropriate contact.

As of Saturday afternoon Cage was still in jail awaiting his initial sentence. We suspect he will bail out later today.

Cage, who has recently accused his ex-manager for destroying his financial net worth, is known to have owned property in New Orleans. Just last year one of Cage’s multi-million dollar New Orleans houses went up for auction after the bank foreclosed on it.

The actor is currently filming the thriller “Medallion”, about a former thief who frantically searches for his missing daughter who has been kidnapped and locked in the trunk of a taxi.

Cage is also known for his roles in high profile films like The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Bangkok Dangerous, The Wicker Man, National Treasure, The Ant Bully, Matchstick Men, Con Air, Leaving Las Vegas, Guarding Tess, Peggy Sue Got Married, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
