Ryan O’Neal’s son ordered to undergo drug rehab
3 days ago

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — The son of actor Ryan O’Neal has been sentenced to pursue a strict drug rehabilitation program after a series of arrests for drug possession, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said.

Redmond O’Neal, 24, was ordered back to court on May 28 for a progress report, a spokeswoman for the office said Thursday.

“If he successfully completes the program, which is at least a year but could be longer, his criminal convictions in two separate cases for drug possession will be dismissed. If he fails, he could face up to four years in state prison,” said Jane Robison, the district attorney’s press secretary.

He was on probation at the time of the raid following a guilty plea in June 2008 for possession of heroine and methamphetamines, and driving under the influence.

Ryan O’Neal, who received an Oscar nomination for Love Story in 1971 and also starred in Stanley Kubrick’s “Barry Lyndon,” was sentenced in January to 18 months in a drug rehabilitation program.
