Ryan O'Neal son pleads no contest to drug charge

The judge suspended a six-year state prison term which will be waived if O'Neal complies with the terms of his probation.
O'Neal was admitted April 30 to a drug program in connection with two separate drug cases against him involving heroin and methamphetamine. The cases will be dismissed upon completion of the drug treatment program.
His mother, Fawcett, who rose to fame playing one of the "Charlie's Angels" in the 1970s television series, died June 25 after a long battle with cancer. O'Neal was temporarily released from jail to attend her funeral.
