Actor Ryan O'Neal was arrested on Saturday night after a family dispute. It's alleged that he shot his 42-year-old son Griffin after a family altercation. Love means never having to say, "Stop fucking shooting me, Dad."
According to TMZ:
. . . Actor Ryan O'Neal . . . was arrested Saturday morning at his Malibu home. He was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm after a fight with his son, Griffin. O'Neal was released after posting $50,000 bail.
Police tell TMZ that O'Neal, 65, fired at least one gunshot during the scuffle.
Cops say he was booked at the Lost Hills Sheriff's station without incident. He was released at 5:30 AM.
Sheriff's sources tell TMZ that a 22-year-old female friend of Griffin's was "inadvertently" injured at the scene and transported to a local hospital. Sources wouldn't confirm if the injury was a result of the gunshot.
Hopefully, Ryan is a quick thinker and explained to police that although the O'Neal family has seen their fair share of trouble throughout the years–and God knows them Irish can get punchy with the drink–there was no real dispute, and that Ryan was just firing a few victory rounds into the air to celebrate lady love Farrah Fawcett's silver 60th/triumph over butthole cancer, and Griffin just happened to get in the way.
