Los Angeles -- The son of Ryan O'Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett pleaded no contest Wednesday to heroin possession and was ordered to spend the next year in an intense inpatient rehab program.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz also told Redmond O'Neal to serve five years on probation and gave him a three-year suspended prison sentence, which would only be imposed if the younger O'Neal gets into trouble again.

Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett's troubled son Redmond has been sentenced to an additional year of rehab.
The 26 year old was pulled over by cops in Santa Monica, California on 2 August after he ran through a red light, and heroin and a loaded handgun were found in the vehicle during a routine search.
O'Neal was held without bail and later charged with two felonies - one for heroin possession and one for illegally possessing a firearm.
On Wednesday Redmond pleaded no contest to both counts and was ordered to undergo one year of inpatient treatment.
Redmond's attorneys, Richard Pintal and Michael Brewer, tell People.com, "We are pleased and grateful that the judge gave Redmond further treatment rather than incarceration. His history of addiction warrants this approach."
He is currently on probation for bringing drugs to a Los Angeles County jail in 2009 and he'll remain on probation for another five years.
