Nicolas Cage is a free man… and he’s got reality’s Dog the Bounty Hunter to thank for it. The mulleted TV star posted the  $11,000 bond to get Cage released after the actor was arrested on charges of domestic violence and disturbing the peace over the weekend in New Orleans, LA.

“I am truly a dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client, as I wish to respect his privacy,” Dog explained in a statement to E! News. “I performed my duties as a bail bondsman and not in connection with our show. This is what I do for a living.”

TMZ has managed to get video footage of an incident that preceded Cage’s arrest. In the video, the actor appears to be arguing with several people (his wife included) inside a tattoo parlor. According to witness statements, the actor grabbed his wife during their argument.
