Redmond O’Neal admits drug relapse and sent to rehab – charges pending against him and dad Ryan

Let me say first sorry Tatum wasn’t available for the family mugshot above. Last month, during a routine probation checkup, cops found Redmond O’Neal to be in possession of what looked like meth, as well as a small vial of the stuff in his father’s bedroom. Both Ryan and his 23-year-old son Redmond were arrested.

Yesterday Redmond reportedly told a judge that he had relapsed and wanted help. The judge agreeably sentenced him to two weeks in rehab. The judge said, “You’re a stand-up guy to come here and deal with your problem. I want you to stay clean…You better stay clean or the hammer is going to fall.”

That’s kind of funny praise from the judge since at the time of their arrest, Redmond was about two months into a three-year probation sentence for DUI and possessing heroin and crystal meth. No criminal charges yet have been filed against either Redmond or his Ryan in connection with their Sept. 17 bust at the elder O’Neal’s Malibu home. Ryan O’Neal has maintained his innocence in the affair, his lawyer telling reporters that his client would no doubt be vindicated. We’ll see!
