Farrah Fawcett's Son Arrested on Jail Grounds

Farrah Fawcetts sonWhile Farrah Fawcett is reportedly fighting for her life -- her 24-year-old son is now fighting two brand new drug charges.

Redmond O'Neal was arrested around 9:30 this morning in Castaic, California -- and here's the rub, he was on jail grounds at the time of his arrest.

According to cops, Redmond had just dropped off two friends at a detention center to visit a jailed buddy, when an officer stopped his car to perform a routine security check in the jail parking lot.

Authorities say when the cop came over to the car, Redmond informed the officer that he was in possession of narcotics.

Redmond was immediately searched and then arrested for possession of a controlled substance and bringing narcotics into a secured jail facility. We're told one of the substances was heroin.

Redmond is still behind bars -- his bail has been set at $25k.

61. This kid sure got the worst of both parents--he looks like ill-bred trailer trash and behaves like it too. A couple of years in prison might be just the thing to straighten him out--it did the trick for Robert Downey Jr! It's a shame about Farrah being so ill--she's always been so beautiful and to die painfully is not a fate anyone deserves.

62. On one of the cable shows today it was mentioned both Ryan and Redmond were booked into jail... What a sad thing to happen while Farrah is on her death bed, but is anyone really surprised? Redmond is clearly an addict, and seemingly has a death wish...He has been in rehab numerous times, but it hasn't helped him... There's a lot of blame going on here, but I hope we don't lose focus of Farrah, and her struggle with cancer..She wasn't the best actress, but she had a charismatic personality that endeared her to so many...My thoughts and prayers are with her...and Redmond... He is suffering too, in ways none of us understand...

65. This kid is a sad excuse of a human being. Unfortunately, his mother will die alone and he will have to live with that regret for the rest of his life and since he is already a weak soul it's safe to say he will spriral deeper into drugs and end up overdosing. A tragic story on every front. Simply heartbreaking!

67. It is so sad that Ryan has corrupted all his kids with drugs. Can anyone feel for the son, when his dad does drugs with him? It is the dad's fault and now the son probably doesn't have a prayer of a chance. Too bad that this son was Farrah's only child, maybe she pampered him too much as he was the only one. I feel sorry for the whole family, they are so dysfunctional.

68. It is amazing to me how people always want to make a saint out of a dying person. While I sympathize with Farrah's plight, and do not believe she deserves to suffer, lest we forget that she is this monster's mother and as such, bears some responsibility for how he was raised..
Besides, I don't think she was so squeaky clean when it came to drug use......Didn't anyone see her infamous incoherent David Letterman appearance??

Just sayin!!!

70. This kid isn't any worse than any other drug addict. Robert Downey Jr. was a bigger addict than him. People didn't give up on Robert, hopefully they won't give up on this young man either. Doesn't matter that he's not 'famous' or talented like Downey is, he deserves to be helped. You don't control the drug, the drug controls YOU. It's kind of easy for someone NOT addicted to say just stop taking drugs.

71. This is really sad, Farrah is figting for her life, and her ignorant son is arrested for drugs again...on jail grounds! What an idiot!

72. This kid being a drug addict has nothing to do with his mothers illness. He was on heroin 5 years ago long before she was sick.I guess the poo never falls very far from the dogs butt.

73. A short history of this family:

Dad=Drug Addict
Mom=Drug Addict
Step Sister (Tatum)=Drug Addict who had her kids taken away from her
Step Brother=Drug Addict who, while high, accidently KILLED one of Francis Ford Coppola's sons in a boating accident!!!!!!!!!!

74. Ok what kind of Fing idiot is he. His mom is sick - he has been in rehab numerous times - his mom is in the hospital - and he is busted this morning. All of his brothers and sister have been in rehab for numerous times so Ryan O'Neal should be made to be neutered He should never have children

75. BTW news of Farrahs demise are greatly exagerated. I have friends that know her and she is expected to be released from the hospital this week
