Weston Cage and SA wife arrested

Los Angeles - Weston Cage and his South African wife Nikki Williams were arrested on felony domestic violence charges on Monday.

The 20-year-old heavy metal singer - son of Hollywood star Nicolas Cage - reportedly had an altercation with Nikki Williams, which resulted in him sustaining a cut to his arm with a bottle and her threatening to jump off a balcony.

Police arrested them both at their Los Angeles apartment and, believing Weston, 20, to also have been violent, booked them for domestic violence.

Bail was set at $50 000 for each, but so far only Cage has managed to post a bond and be released.

As he emerged from the police station Weston - who married Port Elizabeth-born musician Williams on April 24 in New Orleans - showed his bleeding arm to photographers, and told website TMZ: "I'm not OK, man. Don't get married."

On Sunday, Williams had said marriage was "tough but wonderful" and that "communication is key". Cage and Williams have both recently been released from rehab.

Cage has also recently been involved in an altercation with his fitness trainer, Kevin Villegas, which resulted in him needing eight stitches and having to undergo a psychological evaluation.

Following the incident, Villegas has taken out a restraining order against Cage, requiring him to stay 100 yards away from him and his family.
