Redmond O'Neal, son of actor Ryan O'Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, admitted to using methamphetamine at a live-in drug rehab facility and was taken into custody on Thursday. The troubled 26-year-old has been in and out of jail and rehab facilities, including his August arrest which uncovered heroin in his vehicle.

O'Neal plead no contest to two felony counts, involving heroin and firearms possession, on August 24 and was sentenced to one year at the facility plus five years of probation. A three-year state prison sentence was suspended under the condition that he did not violate his probation. His probation has since been revoked.

L.A. prosecutors say O'Neal, using a pay phone, called in an order of meth on Sunday to be brought to the facility. He admitted to a judge on Thursday that he had indeed used the drug while in rehab.

O'Neal's sentencing date is slated for October 7.
