TMZ reports that actor Ryan O'Neal has been arrested following some manner of altercation with his son Griffin. The incident, which took place early this morning in Malibu, involved the discharge of a firearm, and there are reports that a female friend of Griffin's was "inadvertently" injured and transported to a hospital. Ryan O'Neal was taken to Lost Hills Sheriff's station and booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was later released after posting $50,000 bail.
Griffin O'Neal, the brother of Tatum, was born in 1964 to Ryan and the late actress Joanna Cook Moore. He has struggled with substance abuse for much of his life, and in 1986 was charged with manslaughter over the drug-related boating death of Francis Ford Coppola's son Gian-Carlo. So, chances are Ryan had a pretty good reason to shoot at him.
