Ryan O’Neal Pleads Guilty In Drug Case
Ryan O’Neal pled guilty to a felony charge of drug possession Friday, and agreed to enter an 18-month drug deferment program.
“Ryan was anxious to move on with his life with privacy and dignity and that’s what we’re trying to do here today,” his lawyer Mark Werksman told People Magazine.
Ryan and his son, Redmond, were both arrested Sept. 17 at the actor’s Malibu home following a probation sweep in which deputies found methamphetamines. A vial of the drug was found in Ryan’s bedroom, police said.
Redmond had been on probation following a DUI and drug possession conviction in June 2008.
If the actor successfully completes drug program, the case against him will be dismissed.
Werksman previously denied that Ryan uses drugs.
“The drugs found in Ryan’s bedroom were Redmond’s,” Werksman said. “He had confiscated them from Redmond. He was trying to keep them away from his son.”
