Weston Cage facing up to a year in jail

OHMYGOSSIP — Weston Cage could be sentenced to a year in jail after being charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and hit and run.
The 26-year-old son of Nicolas Cage faces three charges, one for DUI and two for hit and run, following a police car chase in February, which ended when he ran into a tree in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley.
TMZ reports that Weston’s blood alcohol was .15, almost twice the legal limit, when he reportedly got into an accident but fled before the police arrived.
This led to the chase in which he hit a number of mailboxes and a street sign before ploughing into the tree.
Weston – whose mother is Christina Fulton – has been open about his alcohol addiction in the past but said in 2015 that he stopped drinking when his son Lucian – who will be three in July – was born.
Speaking when Lucian was 14 months old, West said: “He saved my life because as soon as I saw him I didn’t want to drink anymore. It’s been over one year and I have not had a drop of alcohol. It’s just not worth it. And I don’t miss the hangovers.”
Weston admitted to DailyMail.com previously that he used to drink 30 beers, a box of wine and hard spirits every day and said: “alcohol became a nightmare”.
He added: “You have to know what type of alcoholic you are. I was the kind that drank until I was unconscious. I knew I could not go on living that way. I knew there had to be a better life.
“It’s dangerous because you can get taken advantage of, you can’t protect your family when you are that out of it. I don’t miss the hangovers, I don’t miss the bad feelings and the bad dreams.”
