HOLLYWOOD - Oscar-winning actress Tatum O'Neal has been arraigned in a New York court on charges of drug possession.
The former child star--who chronicled her recovery from a heroin addiction in her 2004 book A Paper Life--was arrested by police on Sunday night after she was spotted by a narcotics team exchanging money with a man three blocks from her home in the Big Apple.
The actress, daughter of actor Ryan O'Neal, initially told cops she was "doing research for a part", according to a police source.
She was arraigned on one misdemeanor charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday morning.
She has been released on her own recognizance and is next due in court on July 28, reports Web site TMZ.com.
