In 2007 Ryan O’Neal stared in the movie “Waste Land.”  Add an “d” to the end of that first word and you basically have the actors life summed up in a title.  On Wednesday the actor and his son were arrested from their Malibu home after a search of the home turned up methamphetamine in both Ryan and Redmond O’Neal’s rooms.  The search was part of a probation case involving Redmond O’Neal.  Reuters is reporting:

Redmond O’Neal pleaded guilty in June to driving under the influence and possession of heroin and methamphetamine, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. He avoided time in prison in exchange for starting a drug treatment program and was sentenced to three years’ probation.

Both actor and son are currently out on $10,000 bail.  The O’Neal family has a checkered history with drug addiction.  If you remember back to June, Ryan’s daughter Tatum was arrested for buying cocaine.  When confronted by officers who found two bags of the drug on her, Tatum famously quipped “do you know who I am,” and my personal favorite “I’m doing research for a role.”  The sad truth is that the O’Neal clan suffers from an obvious addiction problem.  Ryan and Tatum have gone from her youngest ever Oscar winning performance in “Paper Moon” to being busted with cocaine and meth.  Tatum immediately talked the “I”m grateful I was busted” talk, as for Ryan it remains to be seen if gratitude, rehab, or a prison cell await him.
