Ryan O'neil

TMZ has obtained the mugshot of actor Ryan O'Neal, who was arrested Saturday morning at his Malibu home. He was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm after a fight with his son, Griffin. O'Neal was released after posting $50,000 bail.

Police tell TMZ that O'Neal, 65, fired at least one gunshot during the scuffle.

Cops say he was booked at the Lost Hills Sheriff's station without incident. He was released at 5:30 AM.

Sheriff's sources tell TMZ that a 22-year-old female friend of Griffin's was "inadvertently" injured at the scene and transported to a local hospital. Sources wouldn't confirm if the injury was a result of the gunshot.

The 42-year-old spent 18 days in jail for not performing the community service ordered by a judge who found him guilty of reckless boating in a 1986 accident that killed the son of film director Francis Ford Coppola.

Griffin also has a history of substance abuse. He pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in 1989. In 1992, he agreed to spend one year in a live-in drug rehabilitation program after pleading no contest to charges he shot at his estranged girlfriend's unoccupied car.

22. #15: I actually read #11's comment differently from you. You could be right and I could be wrong. I hope the comment was NOT meant in the ugly way in which you perceived it.

I had just been talking to a friend who was telling me that she believed her mother's cancer returned (and she died) due to the stress put on her by another family member, and was talking about someone else, a cancer survivor, who is undergoing a HUGE amount of stress and she was worried about her well being.

I was SO beyond thrilled to read that Farrah was cancer free and I admire the way she fought so hard. I pray it is GONE for good. I currently have a friend dying of cancer, just lost another one two years ago, and I know it is a horrific day-to-day existence for everyone.

So, I don't know if that comment was mean to be a plea for Farrah's well-being or a thoughtless, cavalier, off-the-cuff remark. I just think it COULD have been meant another way.

Anyway, I hope everyone will say a prayer for Farrah and all of the people out there suffering.

23. Try getting off the drugs boys and deal with reality.
All that money, fame, houses cars and you still can't deal
with life without drugs. Most of celebrities kids are fxxked up
because of the parents. Here's a good example.

24. First off - shame on the idiot (pie hole - how appropriate) who made the comment about cancer. You are a coward coming to TMZ and making a truly evil comment like that. Let's hope you never have to get that diagnosis or go through what Farrah had to go through. Shame. Shame on you. You are not cool or funny or witty. You are just a nasty jerk.

Ryan is out of control. He is an abuser. Feel no sympathy for him but for the two children and the woman he near destroyed.

He is a maniac and his time has come.

25. Ryan O'Neal has always been an abusive sick man...just read Tatum's autobiography. He's always had an anger management problem for who knows what reason. The stuff that he exposed Tatum to in Malibu when she was young was so disgusting! It's a wonder she barely survivied. All his kids have been totally screwed up because of him. He needs to get some help quick. Farrah is no better with her self-obsessed idolization of beauty. She was smart to get away from that freak. I hope they throw his sorry ass in jail. I've always felt sorry for his son Ryan. He needs to just terminate that relationship- its unhealthy.

26. Ryan has three sons and one daughter....Patrick O'Neal is married to 'Rebecca De Mornay and has two children...Tatum and Griffin are the troubled children of Ryan and Joanna Moore. Griffin and Ryan have always been at loggerheads and violent incidents due to indulgence in drugs and alcohol by both parties. Redmond is Ryan's son with Farrah and has had years of drug problems and has been in and out of rehab since his early teens. Ryan and Redmond have had violent encounters also. This cancer episode with both parents has had Redmond enduring several relapses. While it seems that both Ryan and Farrah are currently cancer free, Ryan still has a nasty and violent temper.

27. You, guys come on. Ryan and his sons needs to control their tempers.They should have some kind of caring heart for Farrah at a time such as this.

Posted at 3:00PM on Feb 4th 2007 by A Caring Person

28. RYAN needs to go into theorapy. He could use a long course in " anger management ". He has a hair trigger temper and it's a MiRACLE that no one was seriously injured or KILLED .

This man should not keep guns in his hourse ....PERIOD. He has much too violent of a temper. Perhaps he should purchase a fierce guard DOG and keep a BAT next to his bed if he needs PROTECTION. ( although something tells me he would use the bat on someone if he got pisst off )

He seems to be the type of person who ' REACTS 1ST " before he thinks. about what his actions will do. Let's hope this is a ' WAKE UP CALL " for him. My God. How many more close calls is this man going to encounter before he relizes he has a big problem ? Jeez.......I guess some people never learn.

29. Don't feel sorry for Farrah. Like a moth to a flame.

30. Crazy-ass white motherf***ers!! I would just like to take this time and remind all my brothers and sisters that this is Black History Month. We have a lot to be proud of as well. We invented fire, the wheel, farming/agriculture and language. We laid out the foundation of all mankind. The white RACIST crackers don't want you know this. I will never stop my fight against RACISM! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!
