Ryan O'Neal pled guilty to one count of felony possession of methamphetamines in a Malibu courtroom today. 
The actor was sentenced to 18 months in a drug rehabilitation program. If he completes the program, the charge will be wiped from his record.
As part of the judges ruling, O'Neal is not allowed to possess any controlled substance and can't associate with anyone known to be a drug user -- except for his son, Redmond.
Redmond was also in court today facing the same charge -- he had his case continued until February 20.

I wonder if HE was using the drugs, or if they were Redmonds. If they were using together, I have now officially seen it all.

I guess I'm confused here...I thought the meth was his son's? Knowing what meth does and the legal consequences. If it wasn't his he should of fought hard to get the charge dismissed

I hope they both get rehabbed successfully - Ryan really was all that and a bag of chips in his heyday. Hate to see him in such bad shape.

Guess what was in his bedroom was his. He said it wasn't at first. That's the problem with meth users. They lie, cheat and steal for the drug. I've seen it ruin so many lives. I would venture to say everyone has at least one person in their family (extended or not) on it. This crap needs to go away! It started here from Mexico and moved thru California and went east. Now its everywhere.

I think he took the wrap for his son. Redmond has priors and Ryan basically got a slap on the wrist. I think Ryan is messed up regardless but in this situation I think he is trying to protect his son from further legal troubles. Does that make him a good or bad father???

I don't have sympathy for drug addicts, however, when Farrah is battling such a terrible disease, it must just be crazy awful for her to have her partner and son end up both likely away from her for a 1 and a half...selfish people !!!!!!!!!

too bad for the show Bones on which Ryan had a small but recurring role. 18 months rehad is a long time. must have been a lot of meth or maybe there is more to this story!

Good example for you kids that is exactly why they are the way they are today. He should be ashame of himself as a parent using with his kids and trying to act like he was all good. Now I want to believe every word Tatum has been saying about him.
