July 27 2018, Updated 10:06 p.m. ET
Farrah Fawcett's son Redmond O’Neal is facing a new charge — this time, while behind bars! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the troubled drifter has now been charged with one count of battery of a person while in custody.
The incident occurred April 20, 2018, at Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail.
While it's unclear who O’Neal attacked, PIO for Los Angeles DA Paul Eakins tells RadarOnline.com the individual was not a fellow inmate and he pleaded not guilty on the charge in court today.
His bail was set at $45,000 for the assault that took place on April 20, 2018 at Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail.
As RadarOnline.com has reported, O’Neal, 33, has exhibited bizarre behavior while in custody and recently suffered a total meltdown.
“He has lost his mind,” an informant revealed. “Redmond believes he has a chip implanted in his brain.”
Fawcett’s son currently faces 22 years in prison for attempted murder, and a slew of other charges.
Last month O’Neal was housed in Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. Online records showed O’Neal was transferred to the nearby Men’s Central Jail on June 17.
O’Neal faces a total of 12 felony and misdemeanor counts related to a crime spree that the troubled felon allegedly committed in Los Angeles between May 2 and May 8.
On May 8, O’Neal allegedly robbed a convenience store in Santa Monica after threatening a clerk with a knife and demanding money. O’Neal was subsequently charged with one felony assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a smoking device, possession of an injection/ingestion device and two counts of possessing a controlled substance, which were meth and heroin.
Investigators also said O’Neal brandished a knife at an employee of a coffee shop on May 5. One day prior, on May 4, Fawcett’s troubled son allegedly stabbed a man with a knife.
RadarOnline.com exclusively reported the stabbing victim, Anton Folkerson, from the May 4 incident faces “years of recovery,” and spent two days in a coma after the brutal assault.
