Redmond O’Neal is heading back to rehab.
The son of actor Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, who was caught driving with illegal drugs and a handgun in Santa Monica earlier this month, pleaded no contest to charges of heroin and marijuana possession, as well as possession of a handgun, on Thursday.
He was subsequently sentenced to a year in a live-in rehabilitation program.
“Redmond is grateful for the opportunity to receive additional intensive treatment,” his lawyer, Richard Pintal, told Radar Online, which first reported the news.
Redmond was arrested on Aug. 2 in Santa Monica.
A spokesperson for the Santa Monica Police Department previously confirmed Redmond was pulled over at 8:45 AM on Aug. 2, for failing to stop at a red left turn arrow at Lincoln and Olympic.
Redmond was pulled over at the 600 block of Olympic Drive, not too far from the police department.
A motor officer determined O’Neal was on probation, and therefore he had consent to search him and the vehicle he was driving.
The officer found a controlled substance believed to be heroin in the car.
O’Neal has a history of drug problems. Previously, he was arrested for possession of heroin and methamphetamine and, in a separate incident, possession of methamphetamine.
Sad, really. I wonder if he will ever get his act together?
O’Neal is featured in the reality show Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals, currently airing on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Now that we know Laurence Fishburne‘s daughter, Montana, is releasing a porn flick The Frisk decided to come up with a list of other celebrity children who have also gone wild.
Michael Douglas’ son Cameron was facing 10 years in prison for moving about $18,000 worth of crystal meth from California to New York. After the arrest, his girlfriend, Kelly Scott, was also arrested for trying to give him an electric toothbrush full of heroin at the courthouse. Cameron’s sentence got halved when his father wrote a letter to the judge, asking him for leniency for his son. He’s in jail now, but I bet the drive from California to New York was a fun road trip.
Actress Cybill Sheperd’s son, Cyrus Zacharia Shepherd-Oppenheim, was arrested for trying to rob passengers on his United Airlines flight to Philly. Apparently, the 22-year-old went through their luggage while they were sleeping and was arrested upon arrival after someone reported him acting suspicious-like. He faced two charges of theft. He’s probably just acting out because he’s got a stupid-long name, though.
It’s pretty obvious that Ozzy Osbourne influenced both Kelly and Jack Osbourne because from the time Kelly was 12 years old, she was basically on drugs for years and Jack nearly killed himself dealing with his drug addiction. They were both high on painkillers during the filming of “The Osbournes” and got all that partying out of their system by the time everyone else their age was getting started.
Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal‘s son Redmond O’Neal went to jail after being caught with heroin. He was released when he was 25 years old, not long after his mother’s death, and after rehab, a relapse, more jail, and rehab again, Redmond is in a sober living house now.
With everything that went down in the Hogan house, it’s not surprising that Nick Hogan became such a mess. After getting in a car crash speed racing his “P**sy Magnet,” his best friend ended up in a coma and he went to jail for eight months for reckless driving. He’s now got five years probation, has to perform 500 hours of community service, go to DUI school and can’t drink for all five years. Plus, he has to live with the knowledge of hurting his friend.
Bob Geldof’s daughter, Peaches Geldof, has been a non-stop wild child. She’s had emergency paramedics treat her for near-fatal drug overdoses. She spent a night doing heroin and taking pictures with an American who promptly told the press that she married a drummer in Vegas without her father’s knowledge. They parted ways six months later. Now she’s dating Eli Roth, so hopefully he can calm her down a bit.
Sure, she’s a total sweetheart now, but it’s only a matter of time before Suri Cruise unleashes the beast. She’s only 4 years old and she’s already on constant paparazzi surveillance, sporting heels and lipstick, and has Daddy wrapped around her finger. All that sugar and spice is eventually going to turn into teenage rebellion, especially after enduring a childhood of Scientology rituals. She’s already got her eye on the Beckham boys and once puberty kicks in, this little one is going to go all out. And it’s going to be awesome.
I was expecting to see Nicole Richie on this, she was pretty much on drugs for years and got in a shit load of trouble. What other celebrity children do you think belong on this list?

Ryan O’Neal turned up for court this morning with son Redmond to face drug charges but spent less than 5 minutes inside the Malibu courthouse.
Judge Lawrence Mira agreed to move the case to January 9 to allow Ryan’s lawyer Mark Worksman more time to prepare his case.
The father son duo were arrested back in September after Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies made a probation visit to their Malibu home and found them in possession of methamphetamines.

What Redmond O’Neal called a “major misunderstanding” is starting to make a little more sense.
The 23-year-old son of Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett, who was arrested along with his dad last month on suspicion of methamphetamine possession, was ordered into a two-week treatment program Wednesday after admitting that he had relapsed.
 “You’re a stand-up guy to come here and deal with your problem,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Millington told Redmond, who also checked into rehab in 2004 to treat a heroin addiction. “I want you to stay clean…You better stay clean or the hammer is going to fall.”
An attorney for the O’Neals didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
No criminal charges have been filed against either Redmond or his dad in connection with their Sept. 17 bust at the elder O’Neal’s Malibu home during a routine probation checkup. Officers allegedly found Redmond to be in possession of what looked like meth, as well as a small vial of the stuff in his father’s bedroom.
At the time of their arrest, Redmond was about two months into a three-year probation sentence for DUI and possessing heroin and crystal meth.
Ryan O’Neal has maintained his innocence in the affair, his lawyer telling reporters that his client would no doubt be vindicated.
“Those were not Ryan’s drugs, he doesn’t use drugs, and has nothing to do with them,” attorney Mark Werksman said. “It’s a dangerous assumption for deputies to have arrested Ryan just because he was in proximity to the drugs.”
Redmond, meanwhile, characterized the situation as a “major misunderstanding. “Life goes on, you know,” he told a pack of paparazzi who followed him home from a market the day after his arrest. “It’s all I have for you, really…If I knew more, I’d tell you more.”

Oh dear, another celebrity has been busted for drugs, this time it’s actor Ryan O’Neal and his son, Redmond, were arrested Wednesday at the actor’s Malibu, Calif., home for alleged drug possession, a sheriff’s spokesman confirms.
“This morning, deputies were doing a routine sweep to make sure Redmond was adhering to his probation,” sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said. “Upon searching the premises, the younger O’Neal was found in possession of narcotics. Later, a vial of drugs were found in the elder O’Neal’s bedroom. We believe the drugs found were methamphetamines.”
Both Ryan, 67, and Redmond, 23, are being held at a local sheriff’s station in lieu of $10,000 bail each.
Redmond O’Neal’s mother is Farrah Fawcett and his half-sister is Tatum O’Neal, who was arrested July 1 in New York City for trying to buy drugs.
Reps for Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett weren’t immediately available for comment.
Redmond has a history of drug abuse, having entered rehab in 2004 for heroin abuse. This past June, he pleaded guilty to drug possession and one misdemeanor DUI charge.
It must run in the family.
