Tatum O’Neal, 44, was recently arrested and charged with 7th degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. On Sunday, O’Neal was just a few blocks from her home in Manhattan, when she was caught buying cocaine. She was also caught with crack, cocaine, and a crack pipe when police searched her.

The Oscar-winning actress said that she was doing it as research for her upcoming movie role but eventually gave in and said that it was for her own use. According to witnesses, she was begging and crying to law enforcement and proclaiming that she has been sober for a while and just had a relapse. She has made it public in her book, “A Paper Life”, that she battled with addiction in the past.

O’Neal has to appear in court on July 28th.
