Ryan O'Neal pleads guilty to drug charge

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ryan O'Neal has pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge.

He entered the plea in a Malibu courtroom Friday morning and was ordered into an 18-month drug diversion program.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says the case will be dismissed if O'Neal successfully completes the program.

The 67-year-old, Oscar-nominated actor was arrested in September along with his son, Redmond, and was later charged with felony methamphetamine possession. Sheriff's deputies had searched the actor's home while doing a check on Redmond O'Neal, who was on probation for a previous drug conviction.

Ryan O'Neal was nominated for a best actor Academy Award for 1970's "Love Story." Redmond, 23, is his son from a relationship with Farrah Fawcett.

Thanks for the info.
I just hope that it won't interfere with his possible future appearances on Bones...

Yeah no kidding. That sucks!

That sucks....

So Max Keenan must not be much of a stretch for Ryan... haha... What will happen with his character if he goes to prison?

Well, looks like we won't see much of Max for a while.

I guess not. Oh well. We need to see more of Russ, so unless that actor was arrested too....

Just posting this so people can see the support he is getting from Emily and David. These quotes are from an ET interview.

"Ryan is the sweetest, most charming guy," Emily says. "He is such a good actor, so we love having him on the show. I hope everything gets resolved and he comes back. It is great to be able to work with him."

And David also lends his support, saying, "We are here for him. We welcome him here with open arms. He has been nothing but great for all of us on the show.

awwwwwww thats so sweet of them...........

oh well no prison for him. im sure we'll still see him on the show.

No prison? i guess thats good, at least for the show...
