Tatum O'Neal Pleads to Reduced Charge in Drug Arrest
Charged after a June 1 arrest with a misdemeanor drug possession count, Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal pleaded guilty to a lesser violation today.
O’Neal, 44, was conditionally discharged after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct, reports the New York Post. She must attend two half-day drug treatment program sessions, and pay a $95 court fee.
As she left the Manhattan courtroom of Judge Elisa Koenderman, the actress said she plans to “go back to my meetings and go back to my life taking care of my children.
“I’m just glad that I got the deal that I got,” she says. “My lawyer did a good job.”
