The scrawling stoner has gathered herself a no-jail deal — but she may have to pick up some trash at a local park.
Rock legend Keith Richards’ model daughter was in Manhattan this morning, resolving last month’s arrest for graffiti-writing on a SoHo nunnery and for possessing illegal pills and pot.
Under today’s deal, the charges against Theodora Richards, 25, will be dismissed in six months. But she must first do two days of public community service, typically served with the Parks or Sanitation departments.
Prosecutors said they agreed to the deal because Richards has no criminal record and is receiving drug treatment.
Not that she needs it, insisted her lawyer, Edward Hayes.
“She’s clean as the snow,” he effused. So too, he said, is the nunnery wall.
“It wasn’t even permanent paint,” the lawyer said. “It washes off.”
The leggy, Rapunzel-tressed blonde came to misdemeanor court without her famous dad and celebrity mom, model Patti Hansen, and looked far more glam than on her last go-around in early March, when she appeared before a judge after a night in jail, with a wooly hat pulled down over her uncombed hair.
Today she wore a clingy, belted black and white knit dress and shiny and high black heels.
She’d been charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana, eight and a half pills of the painkiller oxycodone, and a graffiti instrument — a small red paint pen.
Cops busted her after seeing her doodle a tidily-inked “T heart A” on the exterior of St. Anthony’s Convent at 190 Prince St. Hayes explained that initials stood for Theodora and her kid sister, Alexandra.
“She just loves her sister,” said Hayes, who repped Richards alongside co-counsel Stacey Richman.
“I hope I don’t get in trouble for this,” Richards had told officers when they busted her. A search of her bag recovered the pills and pot, cops said at the time.
“I don’t have a prescription for them,” the kid had admitted, helpfully.
Sources told the Post that Richards had never mentioned to First Precinct cops that she was the famed rocker’s daughter, and was polite and “apologetic” while in custody.
Cops only learned she was rock ‘n’ roll progeny after a phone call resulted in her dad reaching out to retired cops on his payroll, who notified officers, a source said.
By then, the younger Richards — who lives in a luxury, celebrity-filled apartment building on Lafayette Street near the scene of the crime — had been busted, cuffed, hauled to the precinct and charged.
Ironically, Richards, whose dad was busted nearly a dozen times for drugs in the ’60s and ’70s, once told the British celeb site FemaleFirst, “Many of the kids around me just want to go out and party every night. I’m not a big fan of drugs.”
Richards must return to court June 24 to show proof of her community service completion.
