Redmond O'Neal arrested again for drugs
(CBS/AP) SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal's son is in jail in Southern California after police stopped him for a traffic violation and allegedly found heroin in his car.
Santa Monica police Sgt. Richard Lewis said Redmond O'Neal was pulled over at about 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday after an officer saw him fail to stop for a red light. Police said a search of his car uncovered the drug.
He was being booked for the red light infraction, violating felony drug probation and possession of a controlled substance, Lewis added, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The 26-year-old, who is on probation in a previous drug case, was jailed without bail.
His lawyer, Richard Pintal, declined to comment to the Associated Press.
O'Neal has a history of substance abuse problems. He completed a drug diversion program last year but remains on probation for bringing drugs to a Los Angeles County jail in 2009.
That year, he was temporarily released from jail so he could attend his mother's funeral after she died following a public battle with cancer.
