Weston Cage also previously battled severe substance abuse issues.
This isn't Weston's first run-in with the law. The actor's son, who also battled substance abuse issues, was arrested in 2017 for DUI.
Two years prior, he revealed that his addiction became so intense at one point, that in a single day he would go through a box of wine, multiple cases of beer and hard liquor.
"It got to the point where people thought I was digging my grave," he shared with a news outlet in a 2015 interview. However, he attributed his path to sobriety to the birth of his son, who he shares with ex Danielle Cage. "Lucian’s saved both of our lives, and we are very blessed to have him. It’s just a very joyous time right now."
