Redmond O’Neal Arrested for Drugs at Jail

Redmond O’Neal (24), who recently got kicked out of a drug rehab program for pissing dirty, was arrested this morning in a jail parking lot for possession of narcotics, and for bringing narcotics into a jail facility, Los Angeles Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore confirmed. Whitemore said:

"At about 9:30 a.m., our deputies did a routine security check on a car in the parking lot of one of our jails. Redmond was driving the vehicle, and admitted to deputies he was in possession of drugs."

Whitmore adds that O’Neal was accompanied by a friend "who wanted to visit someone" at the facility located about 40 miles north of L.A. While he wasn’t actually caught passing drugs onto any inmates, "the parking lot is considered part of the jail and is a secure area."

O’Neal, who’s currently serving probation for a June 2008 DUI and drug possession conviction, is also facing drug charges in another case that involved his father to which he pleaded not guilty less than two weeks ago.

In February, a Malibu court issued a bench warrant for Redmond after he missed an arraignment in connection with a September 2008 drug bust in which he and his dad were arrested.

Redmond O’Neal remains in police custody, and is being held in lieu of $25,000 bail. A court hearing for this latest arrest has been set for April 7.

Redmond may be honest, but he’s not so smart.
