Ryan, Redmond O’Neal face felony charges
Redmond O’Neal’s “big misunderstanding” got a little bigger today. Ryan O’Neal and his son, Redmond, were charged Wednesday with felony possession of methamphetamine.
Authorities found the drugs during a probation-related police search of Ryan’s Malibu house and arrested Ryan, 67, and Redmond, 23.
In addition to the felony counts, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Redmond with two misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and one misdemeanor count of illegal possession of pepper spray.
Ryan O’Neal’s attorney, Mark Werksman, says the actor “found it extremely frustrating and upsetting” to be charged.
“He’s not a drug user and he doesn’t want to be thought of as a drug user,” says Werksman.
Redmond, however, can’t say the same. He’s battled drug addiction for years and is halfway through a two-week treatment program.
“Dealing with Redmond’s problem over the years has been difficult for (Ryan) and his family, and this is another tough load for him to absorb,” Werksman says.
A Nov. 13 arraignment is scheduled.
