Tatum O'Neal's Crack Dealer To Be Deported
While Tatum O'Neal paid for her spring crack bust with two half-day drug-treatment sessions, a $96 fine, and one night in prison, the man who sold her the drugs spent six weeks on Rikers Island followed by deportation, according to the New York Post.
Allen Garcia, the 33-year-old homeless panhandler who sold her the crack in May, walked out of the prison on Tuesday into the arms of immigration officials, who then began his deportation proceedings.
Ms. O'Neal must've had a better lawyer.
Portrait of Tatum O'Neal and John McEnroe For Sale
In more pop culture auction news, former tennis great, John McEnroe, is selling a portrait that Andy Warhol made of him and his then wife, Tatum O'Neal at Sotheby's in London next week.
The acrylic and silk-screen portrait, based on a Polaroid of the couple taken by Mr. Warhol himself, was purchased by Mr. McEnroe at a charity auction for approximately $30,000 in 1986. The work is now expected to fetch up to $687,000.
Mr. McEnroe is now a television commentator at major tennis tournaments and Ms. O'Neal was arrested for scoring crack on the Lower East Side earlier this month.
Don't forget! You can still go bid on Tony Soprano's signature short-sleeved button down shirts for $500 at Christie's tomorrow for a better bargain.
