    Cage Coppola, 33, was arrested by the LAPD Fugitives Department and taken into custody on Wednesday, July 10, for an alleged incident that took place in April. His bail was set at $150,000 but he was released on bond, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Us .

    While details about the incident are unknown, his mother, Christine Fulton , sustained injuries to her face in April after Cage Coppola’s friends allegedly called her to help him during a mental health crisis the week prior.

    Fulton shared a statement about the incident shortly after the news broke, disputing
    reports that there was a disagreement between her and Cage Coppola before the alleged altercation occurred.

    "Weston and I had no argument prior to the incident," Fulton said in the statement, according to People . "On Sunday, April 28, I was reached out to by several of Weston’s best friends for assistance because they were experiencing Weston in a mental-health crisis."

    Noting that she "acted swiftly to ensure [Weston's] safety," the actress continued, "Upon my arrival, I was met by my son who clearly was in a state of a mental health breakdown, which in turn became a horrific experience."

    She added, "I have always supported helping my son with his mental health struggles. I am doing all I can to get him the continued support he needs."
