REDMOND O'NEAL FACING JAIL TIME
FARRAH FAWCETT's troubled son REDMOND O'NEAL is facing up to three years in jail after a Los Angeles judge refused to give him another chance at rehab recovery.

The 24 year old appeared in Los Angeles Municipal Courthouse on Friday morning (10Apr09) in relation to a probation violation and was removed from a programme which allows drug offenders to get professional help as an alternative to jail time.
The judge overseeing his latest legal problems insisted O'Neal should be properly punished for breaking drug laws.
He took into consideration the fact that O'Neal failed to complete a rehab stint at the Clearview Treatment Center in California after he was found guilty of drink driving last June (08). He reportedly left the clinic on 1 April (09) after posting a 'dirty' drugs test.
L.A. County District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison tells People.com, "Mr. O'Neal was recently discharged from a residential treatment facility after testing positive for meth and because traces of heroin were found in his room."
O'Neal is being held in custody without bail and is due back in court on 17 April (09) for sentencing.
The embattled offspring of Fawcett and actor Ryan O'Neal is also facing two other charges of drug possession. He was hit with a felony count following an arrest last weekend (05Apr09), while he pleaded not guilty to another in relation to a separate incident last month (Mar09).
O'Neal's legal woes are adding to his family's problems - his mother Fawcett is currently in recovery after suffering complications relating to her treatment for anal cancer. She was released from an Los Angeles hospital on Thursday (09Apr09), a week after she was admitted to the medical facility.
