Nicholas Cage Arrested for Domestic Violence

What might have seemed like a scene from a movie was real life: Nicholas Cage was witnessed fighting with his wife on the street last week.

A taxi driver reported the argument, and officers quickly responded to the call. However, when they asked the very drunk Cage to go home, the actor yelled back at them, daring them to arrest him. That was the wrong thing to say to these officers, who did wind up arresting him on one count of disturbing the peace and one count of domestic violence.

Perhaps Cage was having a drunken night out after learning more about his IRS nightmare, in which he has been targeted for failing to pay taxes on gifts that he gave over seven years ago. The agency filed a lien against Cage in March for neglecting to pay the obligatory 35 percent tax on large gifts. For Cage, this will amount to nearly $600,000 for the almost $1.8 million worth of gifts he has issued since 2004.
