Farrah Fawcett recently announced that she’d won her four-month-long battle against intestinal cancer, but apparently, her former longtime-lover Ryan O’Neal’s joy over her recovery didn’t last long.
Early Saturday morning, Feb. 3, Ryan, 65, was arrested by Sheriff’s Deputies from the Malibu/Lost Hills station, after fighting with his son Griffin O'Neal, 42, and Griffin's 22-year-old girlfriend, Joanne Berry. Deputies went to Ryan’s Malibu beach house at 12:30 a.m. after receiving a call that Griffin and Joanne had allegedly been attacked by the elder O’Neal.
“Ryan O’Neal was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon,” Lt. Crystal Miranda of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Dept., tells Star. Joanne Berry “received minor injuries,” was treated at the scene by paramedics and then taken to Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center. Although Lt. Miranda wouldn’t specify what type of weapon was used by O'Neal, the actor was also charged with "negligent discharge of a firearm." MIranda added that Ryan was released from jail Saturday morning, Feb. 3, at 5:30 a.m., after he posted $50,000 bail.
This isn't the first time Ryan and his son Griffin (his mom was Ryan's ex-wife, the late actress Joanna Moore) have gotten into a brawl. Reportedly, when Griffin was 14, Ryan knocked out his son's two front teeth!
