MALIBU, Calif. (AP) _ Redmond O'Neal, the son of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal, has pleaded guilty to possessing heroin and methamphetamine.

The 23-year-old O'Neal pleaded guilty Thursday in a Malibu court to the two felony counts and a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of drugs. As part of a plea deal, a second DUI charge was dismissed.

He was placed on three years' probation on the misdemeanor charge and fined about $1,700.

The district attorney's office says O'Neal also was ordered to remain in drug treatment until a hearing next month to determine if he can enter a drug-diversion program on the felony charges.

O'Neal was arrested January 26th after he was stopped for speeding on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

  • Shame on you, you little . Time spent in court for one thing or another, should have been time spent with your mom. Those are days that you will never get back and hopefully, you will regret as you get older. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  • Too much disposable income and too little discipline and parenting. Ryan O'Neal is a failure as a father; however, Leigh Taylor-Young, the mother of his son Patrick did a spectacular job of raising one of his sons.
