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.

She is married to Ryans second son Patrick, not Griffin. Not the sportcaster. We need a card of what's what around here.

93. It's sad, because these people have everything going for them and they somehow manage to gloriously screw up their lives -- anyone who looks to Hollywood and it's inhabitents as heros or gods and goddesses has to have their head examined...

95. Did anyone consider that Ryan was attempting to take the gun from Griffin? ALL are assuming that Daddy did it again. These two have probs no doubt, but someday Griffin needs to grow up, they are both old enough to know they are like oil and water, and should stay away from each other. how sad at 42 & 65 they are STILL fighting.

96. 85 the story your talking about was John Gottis kid that was ran over by a neighbor and he took matters in his own hands.

97. Wise Old Owl,
Since your name is wise old owl, I thought you might induldge me for a second. I am a "wise old crow" myself! LOL
What happened to people picking themselves up by the bootstraps, getting straight and taking responsibility for thier actions? Guess I was blessed with more streangth that I thought I had. Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I picked up some bad habits. I quit everything cold turkey except cigarettes. (by the way, Im also the dumbest cancer survivor who ever walked earth with that smoking deal).
I'm weary of stars and starletts, and the general public saying "Im going to rehab". GRAB YOUR PANTS AND STAND THE HECK UP! It hurts, SURE it does. But somebody take responsibility for themselves PLEASE!
Ryan O'Neil do you hear me????
ps: to be safe, go to a doctor before going off meds cold turkey.

98. Griffin is 42 years old and "on his own again?" Yea..... SO? How many of US have been in that situation too? Its not like he is 15 anymore. Again, my broken record: take responsibility.
OF COURSE I think we have forgotten that Griffin did NOT get arrested. Only ryan.
Griffin, you father is poison to you at this time in his life. run away.
Ryan, lay off the adult children. Pray. grow peaceful. If you can't spend time with them without getting out of control, be THE DAD, the adult, and walk away for now.
Like either of them are really gonna read my advise anyway!

99. Any of you condoning what Ryan did because of Griffins's behavior are sick people. No parent should ever brutalize, physically abuse or demean their own child. Remember that Ryan has attacked him before and even knocked out his teeth and was not jailed for that. Violence only begets more violence. Obviously Ryan should never have had children as all of his children (except for Patrick who did not grow up with him) turned out to be misfits with serious drug problems. He is nothing more than a bully, a disgrace as a parent and a poor excuse for a man. He needs to spend some time behind bars for what he did and not be released until he has completed anger management therapy for a few years.

100. Isn't Griffin Dunne a little old to be picking a fight with his Dad? Griff- buddy, you're 42 now, taking a swing at your old man is something a troubled teen does on a very special episode of "Growing Pains." And as for Ryan firing a gun in anger, Ryan, your inner hillbilly is showing.

101. Who Cares!!!!!!! Far more important things going on than these people.

102. Here is another good example of these hollywood maniac a**holes with their big egos. Look at his a**hole face in that mugshut!! Mother f***er got what he deserved !!!

103. Griffin and Tatum were raised by their alcoholic, cult -like mother.....Joanna Moore who had a 15 yr old boyfriend....... spoke in tongue...and beat her kids.. my question... (where was their dad ...Ryan)

Griffin drove the speedboat that resulted in the death of ...Gian-Carlo Coppola...Griffin was charged ...because he was under the influence of narcotics...at the time

Ryan needs to get his act together...so he and his children can move forward..Tatum is trying to get it together....Ryan needs to ...he is not a kid...for God's sake....grow up !!

104. This family is the worst. It would almost be a blessing to people if they all were never seen or heard from again. My wife who grew up loving Ryan O'Neil on the screen had a rude awakening from Ryan in the school pickup line years ago. When Redmond was in school with our daughter Ryan honked obnoxiously at my wife and used abusive words for her to move up in the pickup line. We're talking about a Catholic school and calling a woman the C word from his big old Bentley!! I have zero sympathy for you Ryan. I always wanted to confront you on that around Brentwood but karma Gods are doing a fine job for me as payback.

105. Another good funny about Farrah is that she is banned from a lot of stores in Beverly Hills since she is a clepto. Pretty well known. Another good one I heard from a well know catering chef was the time Farah was caught taking a #2 in the side yard of a house where a party was taking place. Totally ruined my visual I had of that poster I had in my formative years!!!
