A New York judge on Wednesday sentenced former child movie star Tatum O'Neal — arrested in early June for trying to buy crack cocaine — to two days treatment and a $95 fine, local news media reported.
O'Neal struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in exchange for attending two half-day drug-treatment sessions and paying the fine, the New York Daily News reported.
"I'm going back to my meetings and back to my life," said O'Neal (44). "I'm just glad that I got the deal that I got. I wish it hadn't happened, but we move on."
According to the newspaper, the former wife of 'bad boy' tennis superstar John McEnroe was arrested as she was handing money to a street dealer three blocks from where she lives in Manhattan.
When officers searched her, they found two bags of drugs — one with crack, one with regular cocaine — and an unused crack pipe.
O'Neal, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress at age 10 in 1974 for her role in 'Paper Moon', divorced McEnroe in 1992.
