Redmond O'Neal will be back in court October 7 for a hearing to determine if he will stay in jail or return to rehab.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Redmond O'Neal, the son of actor Ryan O'Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, returned to jail Thursday after he was caught with illegal drugs at the rehab clinic where he was undergoing court-ordered treatment, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney said.
"He had methamphetamine," Sandi Gibbons said.
O'Neal, 26, appeared before a judge Thursday who ordered him back to jail for the alleged probation violation, Gibbons said.
He will return to court on October 7 for a full hearing to decide whether he will stay in jail or return to rehab, she said.
He entered substance abuse rehab to avoid prison time when he pleaded no contest to felony gun and heroin possession three weeks ago. The judge agreed to let him serve his sentence with a one-year rehab program.
Redmond O'Neal, who has struggled with drug addiction since he was a teenager, was arrested last month during a traffic stop in Santa Monica, California.
He was convicted on two drug offenses two years ago, but was released a year ago from a Pasadena, California, sober living facility where he was undergoing court-ordered drug rehab.

He obviously has no plan on giving it up, all the rehab in the world will not help until he makes his own decision to stop. Toss his ass in jail I guess, why should he get it easier than anyone normal person that gets busted? Oh he probably has money....

Why doesn't he go to a doctor and get it legally?

Yep--He & his family have the money to burn. I agree with you deathd, toss his ass in jail & keep him there.

Who knows how that warped mind of his is thinking, pop.
