Ryan O'NealYou know what they say about the family that plays together... Well, maybe that turn of phrase was actually the family that PRAYS together, stays together. Either way it looks like Ryan O'Neal better say a few prayers for himself and his son, Redmond, who were both recently arrested on drug charges after the cops searched their home.

These two aren't the only O'Neals to recently make the papers, and not the only two to do so for drug-related incidents. Tatum O'Neal, Ryan's daughter, was recently arrested and then subsequently went to rehab for trying to buy drugs from an undercover agent. Ryan and Redmond were arrested for allegedly possessing methamphetamine after their home was swept in relation to a probation case involving the 23-year-old. Redmond was on a three-year probation plan given him instead of a jail sentence. Both were released on $10,000 bail.

All of this is terrible publicity for the family (and where is poor Farrah Fawcett in all this--she is Redmond's mom), but it points to what we all hear about but never tend to see: Drug addiction really is a family affair. It can run in families, and, even when it doesn't, it affects the entire family. I hope however it happens this family can work through their issues and get the help they need.
