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.

46. It's so sad that BOTH of Ryan O'Neal's sons, Griffin and Redmond have had serious drug problems. How tragic that these warring men have to ruin Farrah's 60th birthday and her celebration of completing chemotherapy for cancer. You know people really do "reap what they sow" and some of these celebrity parents don't spend enough time raising their children...too busy working etc. Sounds like they need professional mediation...cool their tempers and learn to enjoy and appreciate one another.

48. Good thing the judge sentenced that kid so severly when he was involved in the drunken boating death of his friend, Coppola's son ... Imagine! COMMUNITY SERVICE! Really made an impression on the entire family, we can all now see ... Wonder what kind of "side deal" Coppola and O'Neal made to keep the kid out of jail ... ?

49. Farrah was the good guy, grounded go between for those [step-] kids, and her son Redmond also lived in hell by that creepy-abusive relationship. She should have dumped him long ago. Ryan is a hot headed egotistical nutcase.

50. Patrick O'Neal did not live with his father while growing up. He was raised by his mother (actress Leigh Taylor-Young) which is the reason why he turned out to be a responsible adult. He has spoken in the past how he never used his father's name or connections to get work in the broadcasting world.

52. This is a Dominick Dunne book in the making!!! What a horrible family. They are beyond repair this bunch. My encounters with Tatum have been scarey. She is completely burnt from drugs..makes absolutely no sense... rarely stays sober for more than a few months at a time. She is a goner. Ryan is a f*** up too. A gun??? They are sooooo crazy..

53. I just wanted to take this time and thank all of my supporters. The RACIST crackers must be brought out from their hiding. As we have seen recently, the RACIST celebrity crackers have shown their true RACIST colors! I wish all of my brothers and sisters a happy Black history month. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

59. #54 you are so wrong. Tatum has worked very hard on her sobriety. She is on talk shows and was on dancing with the stars. She is in the best place she has ever been right now. She is very involved with her kids life and talks openly about her addiction. She looks beautiful and is not burned out at all. She is better than ever. Where did you get your info. Do you ever watch TV?

60. This is the babyboomers' contribution to society. Bunch of drunk, drug-dealing, narcissistic LOSERS breaking the bank of our government (as they retire, croak, etc.) and corrupting everyone on the way out as the turn out the lights ...
