Tatum O'Neal, a former child star and a supposedly recovering drug addict, was arrested Sunday (June 1, 2008) night near her home in New York for allegedly buying crack cocaine. The New York police were doing a routine drug sweep that night when they noticed O'Neal giving money to a street dealer.

NYPD spokesman, Mike Wysokowski, said that two officers found a bag of crack and a bag of cocaine on her. On the New York Post, O'Neal claims that she was researching for a part of a junkie. O'Neal was suppose to have been clean after she finished rehab in 1996.

Apparently she is not as clean as she claims to be. Getting arrested could be good for her. She can get help and stay clean this time.
