What will be the outcome of Tatum's O'Neal's cocaine arrest?

Settled as Something else happens?

Sorry - there was a combination of drug treatment order; and a fine; which as per settlement details was to settle as 'something else happens'

Background:

Once again, Tatum has fallen towards her dark side, being arrested with two bags of cocaine in her pants pocket during a drug sweep in New York's Lower East Side. Prosecutor's are said to be recommending drug treatment as a sentence, but who knows what will happen? http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h7-PZDCosPfFh0oGfNpcWXplXYlwD91257Q01 By the way, possession of cocaine in the amount she had is a misdemeanor in New York. She's due back in court on July 28, 2008.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source. A combination of penalties will count as 'something else'

If she is sentence to, let's say, both a fine AND ordered into a drug treatment program, will this settle as "something else"?

yep...sounds good to me...any other outcome than specified, even a combination of penalties, should count as 'something else'

Hi,

I've added in to these settlement details that "a combination of penalties will count as 'something else.'

I have always been in favor of "something else" except when I was against it :-)

amazing...certainly she'll be ordered to treatment but, to think that there won't be a fine involved?
