Despite engaging in a screaming match with his wife, banging on cars and running from police during a night of drunken mayhem last month, Nicolas Cage will not be prosecuted.
"The New Orleans District Attorney has confirmed that no charges of any kind will be pursued against him," Cage's attorney Harry Rosenberg tells People. "After their investigation, the DAs refused all charges against Nick and the matter has been closed."
The actor, 47, had been arrested on charges of domestic abuse and disturbing the peace while in New Orleans to film a movie. After a night out, Cage got into a loud argument with his wife after insisting that the home they were standing in front of was indeed the house they were renting. It wasn't.
Police said he later grabbed his wife's arm and pulled her a few doors down. An intoxicated Cage then starting hitting cars and, after initially starting to get into a police car that had been flagged down, instead ran a block away and tried to get into a cab, according to reports.
Despite the troubled actor's antics, prosecutors apparently did not have enough to make a case this time.
"We are pleased that the process led to the correct result, despite inaccurate media reports, and that Nick has been cleared and all charges have been dropped," Rosenberg said.
So, Cage may be getting off scot-free. But his drunken behavior, the argument over his true whereabouts and the woman with a baby in her arms who witnessed the bizarre scene and cried out to Cage, "Please don't hurt us," could all be a plotline from a diabolical caper movie -- especially now that he faces no prosecution.
But seems like with Nicolas Cage these days, truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
