Cybil Shepherd Son Avoids Jail Time


Cybil Shepherd’s son, Cyrus Zachariah Shepherd-Oppenheim, has averted jail time and will instead enter a pretrial diversion program. The 22-year-old law student from the University of Pennsylvania appeared in Philadelphia Municipal Court on April 20, People.com is reporting. He will be able to keep his criminal record clean if he follows the rules of the program, which is designed for first time offenders.

Shepherd-Oppenheim was arrested in January at Philadelphia National Airport for allegedly stealing other passengers’ property. He was caught trying to take a Cannon digital camera, leather make-up case, small travel bag and money from fellow passengers as they slept on an overnight flight from San Francisco to Philadelphia.

Another hearing is scheduled for on June 4. The lawyer for Shepherd-Oppenheim, who comes from Sebastopol, California and whose father is the actress’ ex-husband, Bruce Oppenheim, declined to comment on the case outside of the courtroom.
