IT IS A FAMILY THING FOR O'NEALS?

Ryan O'Neal together with his son with Farrah Fawcett, Redmond O'Neal was arrested for drug possession.

His daughter, Tatum O'Neal was also arrested for cocaine possession in New York. Is it a family thing?

LOS ANGELES — Ryan O'Neal and his son were arrested Wednesday morning after authorities said they found drugs at the actor's Malibu home during a routine check associated with Redmond O'Neal's probation.

Investigators suspect both men had methamphetamine, but the substances still need to be tested, Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Los Angeles Sheriff's deputies and probation officers went to O'Neal's home for a routine check of Redmond O'Neal, who is serving three years of probation after pleading guilty in June to drug possession charges.

Whitmore said in addition to drugs that deputies suspect belong to Redmond O'Neal, deputies also found narcotics in Ryan O'Neal's living area. Both men were released after posting $10,000 bail and could be charged with felony possession of narcotics.

Ryan O'Neal, 67, was nominated for a best actor Oscar for "Love Story." Redmond, 23, is his son from a relationship with actress Farrah Fawcett.

I feel sorry for this family.
