LATEST: Oscar-winning actress TATUM O'NEAL has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with her arrest for cocaine possession last month (Jun08).

The former child star appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday (02Jul08) and was ordered to spend two half-days sessions in a drug treatment program and pay the court $95 (GBP47.5).

Judge Elisa Koenderman told the court if these conditions were met before her next appearance on 4 September (08), the case will be dismissed.

The actress - daughter of screen legend Ryan O'Neal - was arrested by police last month after being spotted by a narcotics team exchanging money with a man near her New York home.

O'Neal has previously battled heroin addiction and wrote of her struggle in her 2004 book A Paper Life.
