Nicolas Cage's son Weston Cage has been released from jail after being arrested this week.
The Los Angeles Police Department's fugitives unit arrested Weston Cage Wednesday morning for having a felony warrant, officials confirmed to USA TODAY.
The 33-year-old was released on a $150,000 bond two hours later, records show.
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Weston Cage.
In May, TMZ shared photos of Weston Cage's mom Christina Fulton with injuries to her face. The outlet alleged it was due to an altercation between the mother-son pair. LAPD later confirmed to People that "a battery report was taken" at the time of the incident.

Fulton denied the report, telling People in a statement, "Weston and I had no argument prior to the incident."
"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," she said, adding that she "acted swiftly to ensure his safety."
"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," Fulton concluded. "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."
Weston Cage, Nicolas Cage's oldest child, has appeared alongside his dad in several projects, including "Drive Angry," "Joe," "Lord of War" and "211."
In a 2015 interview with People, Nicolas Cage called his son a "total artist."
"He can do things I dream about doing … compose music, sing, act, sculpt and cook and now he is a loving father," he said. "To see my son with my grandson is as close to a sense of blissful completion I ever had."
The elder Cage is also father to Kal-El, 18, whom he shares with ex-wife Alice Kim, and 1-year-old daughter August, whom he shares with wife Riko Shibata.
