Five months after being arrested for bringing heroin into a jail facility, Redmond O’Neal pleaded no contest Friday in a Santa Clarita California courtroom, where he was sentenced to a minimum of 1 year in a residential drug treatment program.
The 24-year-old O’Neal, son of Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, is currently in the Pitchess Detention Center, where he was serving time for violating his probation on drug charges. He is expected to move to the Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in Pasadena, California.
While the plea may have worked in favor of Ryan O’Neal, the sentence carries stiff penalties for O’Neal if he slips up again. Superior Court Judge Graciela Freixes ordered 3 years of formal probation and a 6-year suspended state prison sentence, meaning if O’Neal violates his probation in any way, he could go to prison for up to six years.
