Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
MALIBU, Calif., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Ryan O'Neal's attorney said the drugs that prompted O'Neal's arrest at his Malibu, Calif., home this week did not belong to the actor.
O'Neal, 67, is best known for his roles in the movies "Love Story" and "Paper Moon."
He and his 23-year-old son, Redmond, were arrested Wednesday for alleged drug possession after sheriff's deputies said they found methamphetamine during a probation visit to the house in connection with a previous drug case involving Redmond.
Redmond is said to have been in possession of drugs when investigators arrived, while a vial of methamphetamine allegedly was found in Ryan O'Neal's room.
Father and son reportedly were released on bail after posting $10,000 bond each following the arrest.
"Those were not Ryan's drugs, he doesn't use drugs, and has nothing to do with them," the actor's lawyer Mark Werksman told People magazine Thursday. "It's a dangerous assumption for deputies to have arrested Ryan just because he was in proximity to the drugs. ... This situation is very upsetting to Ryan because he's just trying to lead his life quietly. I have full confidence that Ryan will be vindicated."
People.com said O'Neal's lawyer did not offer an explanation as to how the drugs might have ended up in Ryan O'Neal's bedroom as police said.
Werksman also did not say to whom the drugs actually belonged.
