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 dollar 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," was married to 'bad boy' tennis star John McEnroe, but the couple divorced in 1992.
Yet we have 1000's of Marijuana users still paying the time for their crime.
"I'm going back to my dealers and back to my crack,," said O'Neal, 44. "I'm just glad that I got the deal that I got.

(She got off more than easy.)
