Griffin O’Neal, the son of actor Ryan O’Neal, was sentenced to clean up gang graffiti and perform other community service after pleading no contest to a drunken driving charge in Los Angeles. O’Neal, 24, who was not present at the hearing Friday, was sentenced to three years’ unsupervised probation, fined about $800 and ordered to attend an alcohol education program, according to Deputy City Attorney Laura Van Eyk. O’Neal was arrested Oct. 2, 1988, after police officers in the San Fernando Valley observed him straddling lanes in his brown-and-pink 1957 Chrysler, Van Eyk said. Blood tests revealed a blood alcohol level of 0.13 percent, 0.03 percent above the legal limit, she said.
