O’neal Arrested On Drug Charges
By WENNTuesday, January 5, 2010
FARRAH FAWCETT and RYAN O’NEAL’s troubled son REDMOND O’NEAL has been arrested on drug charges after his first 24-hour release from a California rehab facility.
O’Neal - who has been sober for six months after battling drug problems for years - was moved into a rehab centre in September (09) to continue his fight against substance abuse, after serving time behind bars in connection to a January 2008 drug arrest and a probation violation.
He was allowed out for a day shortly after Christmas, but according to RadarOnline.com, he was taken into custody on 29 December (09) on a felony charge after displaying odd behaviour upon his return to the facility.
The 24 year old was previously scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday (05Jan10) for a status update on his rehab - a month after he was praised for making progress in his treatment by Judge Michael Tynan.
He is now facing up to six years in prison, as the latest arrest violates probation terms of a previous drug offence.
