Cage's son posted a $150,000 bond, confirmed by 'The Sun.'
Weston's mother was seen badly bruised following the alleged altercation with Weston during a mental health crisis back in April.
'The Doors' actress was reportedly spotted at a street parking meter in Los Angeles with a black eye and bruises all over her face following a verbal dispute with her son. 'TMZ' reported that Weston — a mixed martial artist — fled police before cops arrived at the scene.
The media outlet stated that Cage's son was named as a suspect in a battery report which took place at Fulton's California home. An ambulance was allegedly dispatched, but no one checked into a hospital facility.
"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," Fulton, 57, stated, per 'PEOPLE.' "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."
"I have always supported helping my son with his mental-health struggles," she explained per the media outlet. "I am doing all I can to get him the continued support he needs."
