Ryan O'Neal Arrested -- Shot Fired

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.

47. 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!!!

49. 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..

54. #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?

55. 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 ...

56. Ryan, who is supposed to be the parent, should know when to back off. He's always been volatile , quick tempered. His son with Farrah was a heroin addict & was in rehab for a while. It seems the only one working, is Tatum on TV (Wicked, wicked Ways) & on cable in Dennis Leary's show (Rescue Me).

His children should know to stay away from him because he's soooooooo volatile just having the wrong hair brush could set Ryan off. It's also the reason Farrah left him. Apparently, his own cancer scare with leukemia didn't teach him one damn thing about himself or his children.

What a waste!

57. For years Ryan has denied all the abuse allegations leveled by Tatum, I always knew it was true. Now the public does too.

58. Farrah, I'm so glad you are CANCER FREE!!! God bless you.
I & I hope you all will pray for this highly disfunctional family.
I hope they will seek (or be ordered to) counseling.
However, the powers that be probably think this family would
be a good one for another reality show!!!!

ps.....#11 You are a total idiot. I hope you are very young, if not you need help big time!!!!

59. Both Farrahs are idiots. Farrah Fawcett and Ryan both did drugs with the kids and then wondered why all the kids turned out to be addicts (with the exception of Patrick). Farrah let Ryan move in with her and leave Griffin and Tatum to fend for themselves when they were still just children. She never did anything to try to help those kids. Just cared about herself. Read Tatum's book. And as for Farrah on this site - you are a complete idiot and your foolishness certainly does not help your "cause" - if that's what you call it.

60. Griffin is lucky he didn't end up like Marvin Gaye. he should probably crash at his mom's from now on.
