Ronnie Wood's Son Tyrone Arrested for Drug Offenses in 2020

In July 2020, Ronnie Wood’s 32-year-old son Tyrone was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs after police found crack cocaine and heroin in his car. The arrest came as a gut punch to Ronnie, who had himself battled severe alcohol and cocaine addictions for decades before getting sober in 2011.

Ronnie has spoken openly about how the incident forced him to look in the mirror. Instead of preaching, he leaned on his own recovery experience, admitting he felt “helpless” but also understood the cycle better than most fathers would. He told The Sun that Tyrone’s arrest “brought back memories” of his own dark days and that the best thing he could do was offer support without enabling.

The experience deepened Ronnie’s commitment to his sobriety and his role as a father. He credited his wife Sally and his 12-step program for giving him the tools to handle the situation with compassion rather than judgment. Tyrone later pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence, and Ronnie has since described their relationship as stronger because they both faced the truth together.
