Following the arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department told Fox News that O'Neal walked into a Santa Monica 7-Eleven around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, allegedly demanding that the store clerk hand him the money from the register.
A call was placed to the cops and O'Neal was arrested soon after.

In 2015, O'Neal was sentenced to three years in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for violating his probation related to an earlier drug-possession conviction.
And back in 2011, O'Neal's probation was revoked after he admitted to using narcotics while in court-ordered rehab. He was sentenced to a year in rehab after he pled no contest to felony gun and heroin possession a month before.
According to People, that same year, O'Neal's father, actor Ryan O'Neal, said that his son “never recovered from the loss of his mother."
