Redmond O’Neal was arrested around 9:30 yesterday morning in Castaic, Calif., and here’s the best part – he was on jail grounds at the time of his arrest.
The troubled son of Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O’Neal and actress Farrah Fawcett, and brother of Tatum O’Neal was arrested for possession of narcotics and for bringing narcotics into a jail facility, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department says.
“At about 9:30 a.m., our deputies did a routine security check on a car in the parking lot of one of our jails,” said spokesman Steve Whitmore. “Redmond was driving the vehicle, and admitted to deputies he was in possession of drugs.”

Whitmore adds that Redmond O’Neal, 24, was accompanied by a friend “who wanted to visit someone” at the facility located about 40 miles north of L.A.
While he wasn’t actually caught passing drugs onto any inmates, “the parking lot is considered part of the jail and is a secure area,” Whitmore explains.
Redmond O’Neal, who’s currently serving probation for a June 2008 DUI and drug possession conviction, is also facing drug charges in another case that involved his father to which he pleaded not guilty less than two weeks ago.
