LOS ANGELES - Like father, like daughter, like son.

Actor Ryan O'Neal, 67, and 23-year-old Redmond - his son with actress Farrah Fawcett - were busted Wednesday on felony drug charges.
Deputies found what is believed to be methamphetamine on them during a probation sweep of their Malibu home. Father and son were later released on $10,000 bail each.

"Authorities found Redmond in possession of narcotics and later discovered the father, Ryan O'Neal, was also in possession of narcotics," spokesman Steve Whitmore told the Daily News.

A vial of the alleged narcotics was found in Ryan O'Neal's bedroom at his Malibu home.

Whitmore said the discovery came as "part of a routine probation compliance search" stemming from a previous drug case involving Redmond.

Redmond is serving three years' probation after admitting he was carrying heroin and crystal meth when he was caught on a Malibu joyride in the predawn hours of Jan. 26.

Redmond's older sister Tatum O'Neal grabbed headlines in June when she was arrested one New York's lower East Side buying crack and powder cocaine from a homeless man.
