Battle Poll: Ghost Rider vs. New Orleans Police Department. I'm going with the NOPD. Actor Nic Cage was arrested in New Orleans this morning. This from the Associated Press:

Authorities say actor Nicolas Cage has been arrested in New Orleans on charges of domestic abuse battery and disturbing the peace.

The Orleans Parish Sheriff's office says Cage was booked into the Orleans Parish Prison at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Cage has been a frequent visitor to New Orleans, where he has owned property and shot movies in the past.

New Orleans police did not immediately disclose details about his arrest. An agent for Cage did not immediately return a phone call Saturday.


According to TMZ, "Nic's wife is not a complaining witness and does not want him charged -- and says there was no physical contact." Cage is still in police custody and as of 11:30 MST, A bail of $11,000 has been set.

The actor just wrapped filming on the Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance which is scheduled for release next February.

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!

Only disturbing the peace stuck. Wife didnt press charges, and he tempted the police by shouting 'Arrest Me! I dare you!' or something like that. Pretty much they told him to go home and he made them arrest him. Slap on the rest, small fine, good day sir

They probably just were arguing a bit loud and the police still arrested him. They wouldn't arrest regular citizens for it they just seen dollar signs.

@N Yeah they can carry guns and actually enforce the law and intimidate criminals. I guess it is a big difference from the rape whistles and squirt guns European cops carry...
