Redmond O'Neal Arrested as His Mother Farrah Fawcett Fights For Life

On : 2009 Apr 06

Redmond O'Neal, the troubled son of Ryan O'Neal and actress Farrah Fawcett was arrested Sunday morning for possession of narcotics and for bringing narcotics into a jail facility.

He is being held on $25,000 bail. Redmond is currently serving probation for a June 2008 DUI and drug possession charge and pleaded not guilty less than two weeks ago to a drug charge involving his father.

Redmond's latest run-in with the law came as Fawcett was fighting for her life at an L.A. hospital.

Fawcett, 62, who has been battling cancer for years is reportedly in critical condition. The 'Charlie's Angels' actress is said to be unconscious. Her longtime partner, actor Ryan O'Neal, is at her bedside.

UPDATE: Farrah Fawcett's physician have released statements about her condition:

"On Farrah Fawcett's behalf, I can confirm that she recently checked into a Los Angeles hospital," the producer, Craig Nevius, says in a statement released to PEOPLE. "And although it is usually against her nature to correct false or exaggerated stories that originate in tabloid-style reports by offering true information that they would not otherwise have to publish, Farrah is allowing this statement out of appreciation for her fans, who have offered their constant support throughout her fight, as well as out of concern for the countless other cancer patients who have written her over the last two-and-a-half years in order to tell her that they are following her story in the hope that there is hope."

Speaking early Monday morning, he also said, "Tonight, Farrah has hope, and she hopes that others will continue to hold onto theirs."
