Farrah Fawcett’s jailed son pays her monitored visit

Washington, April 28: Farrah Fawcett’s son Redmond O`Neal was temporarily released from prison so that he could see his cancer-battling mother under a visit monitored by the sheriff`s office.Redmond, who has been serving his sentence for a violation of his parole stemming from drug charges, had been released for three hours over the weekend.

"A sergeant and a deputy drove him to his mother`s home [Saturday] and he`s now back in custody," People magazine quoted LA County Sheriff`s spokesman Steve Whitmore as saying. Whitmore further said that the O`Neal family shelled 1,285.39 dollars for the personal visit, adding: "The visit wasn`t paid for with taxpayer`s money.” The 24-year-old prisoner, the only son of Fawcett and Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O`Neal, was said to have had a wonderful time with his mother. A source added: "Redmond`s attorney had requested that he be allowed to visit his mom a while ago. It was not a crisis or emergency. Farrah is status quo. “He had a lovely visit with his mom. Farrah was thrilled to see him. It was a wonderful visit." ANI
