Tsk Tsk Tatum


Just a little research? Ya right.

Tatum O'Neal was arrested in New York City Sunday for allegedly buying crack cocaine near her home, according to authorities.

A New York City Police spokesman Det. Martin Speechley confirmed to PEOPLE the Paper Moon Oscar winner, 44, was seen making the illicit purchase at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday on Clinton Street. She was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor.

Speechley said police also arrested the alleged drug dealer, Allen Garcia, 32, who was charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony.

O'Neal and the dealer were taken to Manhattan's 7th precinct for booking. O'Neal was arraigned and posted bail Monday shortly after noon.

"You know who I am, right?" She also claimed she was "researching a part – I'm doing this for a part as a junkie."

In addition, she is quoted as telling detectives, "Can't we just forget about this?"

"Researching a role" is the new black.

Isn't that how Eva Mendes is trying to explain her rehab? Or was it Kiki?
