Redmond O'Neal Faces Sentencing for Violating Probation in Rehab Facility

Redmond O'Neal Faces Sentencing for Violating Probation in Rehab Facility

Redmond O'Neal, son of actor Ryan O'Neal and the late actress Farrah Fawcett, was exepcted to be sentenced Friday after he was found to have violated his probation last month.

O'Neal, 26, admitted to the court he violated his probation while in a rehabilitation facility.

A letter from a rehabilitation facility indicated O'Neal was in violation of the terms. The letter stated that O'Neal accessed a payphone and had drugs delivered to the facility.

O'Neal was taken into custody after the hearing without bail.

LA Superior Court Judge Keith I. Schwarz  told O'Neal he might consider sending him back to the facility if he met certain conditions. This would include no access to a phone.

Schwartz also warned O'Neal he could sentence him to six years in state prison from an original probation violation and a concurrent three-year sentence.

During the hearing, a representative from the facility acknowledged the center fell short in their supervision of O'Neal.

O'Neal pleaded no contest to felony possession of heroin and possessing a firearm in August. He was sentenced to a one year in-patient rehabilitation program and five years of probation.
