Actor Tom Sizemore fails drug test (Updated 2/05/06)

He didn't spend the money, and rich people don't use savings accounts. If you're not rich and haven't even been rich it's really easy to make fun of them. His money was lost because of legal fees, lost contracts in movies, lawsuits, etc...Nobody spends $18,000,000 on methamphetamine. They'd be dead.

Actor denies he falsified drug test

LOS ANGELES -- A prosecutor told a judge Wednesday that actor Tom Sizemore violated his probation by trying to falsify a urine test for drugs.

Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney said Sizemore, 43, also failed to report to his probation officer, did not advise authorities of his new address and missed drug rehab counseling sessions.

Outside court, Sizemore denied the allegations.

"I have been clean and sober and they are pandering to the city attorney," said the actor, who has appeared in such films as "Black Hawk Down" and "Saving Private Ryan."

If a judge determines he violated probation, Sizemore could be sent to prison for up to three years. The hearing was scheduled to continue today.

Drug counselor David Aronek testified that Sizemore tried to falsify a drug test in May by using a device called "The Whizzinator," a fillable prosthetic penis designed to beat drug tests.

Sizemore returned two days later for another test and showed signs of "speed psychosis," including rapid speech, profuse sweating and jittery behavior, Aronek said. He said the actor told him he was under the influence of crystal meth.

Sizemore then failed to appear May 31 for still another drug test, Aronek said.

The actor was ordered into drug treatment after pleading guilty to methamphetamine possession following his August arrest at his West Hollywood home.

In 2003, Sizemore was convicted of domestic violence involving his ex-girlfriend, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. He has been allowed to remain free while appealing that conviction.

Tom Sizemore ordered tested for drugs every three days
Los Angeles Times
June 29, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- Tom Sizemore was ordered Tuesday to undergo drug testing "at least once every three days" until the judge in his case reconvenes a hearing on whether the actor violated his parole stemming from a drug conviction last fall.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Paula Adele Mabrey told Sizemore to return to court July 12. Outside court, Sizemore told reporters he welcomed the drug testing order.

Sizemore, who appeared in Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down, took the witness stand last week to deny testimony by two drug counselors that he had taken drugs May 25 and that he used a prosthetic device to fake a urine test that day.

The 43-year-old actor was ordered to enroll in a drug program last month after pleading guilty to a felony charge of possessing a controlled substance, methamphetamine.

Tom Sizemore misses LA hearing after checking into rehab program
By RYAN PEARSON, Associated Press Writer 30 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - Actor Tom Sizemore missed a probation violation hearing Tuesday after checking into a live-in drug rehabilitation program, his lawyer said. Meanwhile, officials filed new allegations that the actor skipped drug tests.

Sizemore's hearing in Superior Court was continued to July 22. A bench warrant will be issued for his arrest if he misses that court appearance, Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney said.

"He was in court (last month) when the judge ordered him to return," Carney said. "I don't know how Sizemore could not know he needed to be there."

Prosecutors have said Sizemore violated his probation by trying to falsify a urine test for drugs, failing to report to his probation officer, not advising authorities of his new address and missing drug rehab counseling sessions.

The actor, who played baseball player Pete Rose in last year's ESPN movie "Hustle" and had roles in films including "Natural Born Killers" and "Saving Private Ryan," has denied violating the terms of his probation.

Prosecutors allege Sizemore tried to use a prosthetic device to falsify a urine test for drugs. He later missed tests required once every three days, probation officials said Tuesday.

"We're in the middle of one violation hearing. That potentially triggers a second violation," Carney said.

Sizemore's attorney Gary Meastas declined comment on the latest allegation. He said Sizemore checked himself into a live-in rehab program on Monday in the Los Angeles area but declined to identify the facility.

The idea had been discussed by prosecutors and the court, and Sizemore "took it upon himself to go ahead and turn himself into a program," Meastas said.

Carney countered that the program "certainly wasn't one that the court had in mind."

"It's always convenient when the court orders you to do something and you do something else instead," he said.

If the court finds Sizemore violated probation, he could be sent to prison for up to three years. The actor was ordered into drug treatment after pleading guilty in October to possession of methamphetamine.

Sizemore separately was convicted in 2003 of domestic violence involving his ex-girlfriend, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. He has been allowed to remain free while appealing.

He was sentenced in March to 17 months in jail and more than four months in drug treatment for repeatedly failing drug tests while on probation in that case.

Judge orders Sizemore to stay in drug rehab
Star News Service
July 24, 2005

Actor Tom Sizemore was ordered to remain in a live-in drug rehabilitation program until he is sentenced in September for violating his probation on drug charges.

Sizemore admitted to a series of violations, including falsifying his urine tests and failing to submit to drug testing on eight occasions, Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney said in Los Angeles.

The actor was nearly a no-show in court. His attorney, Michael Rovell, said Sizemore had been in the rehabilitation facility since July 11 and requested Thursday that the actor be excused from appearing.

Superior Court Judge Paula Adele Mabrey denied the request and delayed the hearing so Sizemore could attend.

A different judge issued a warrant for Sizemore's arrest last week after the actor failed to appear in court, but agreed to hold the warrant until Friday.

The actor, who had roles in films including "Natural Born Killers" and "Saving Private Ryan," previously denied violating the terms of his probation. He originally was ordered into drug treatment after pleading guilty in October to possession of methamphetamine.

Tom Sizemore's probation reinstated

A judge has reinstated Tom Sizemore's probation after the actor made "remarkable" progress in his battle against drug addiction.

The 'Saving Private Ryan' star, who has been living at a Pasadena drug treatment facility since July at the order of the courts, attended a hearing in a Los Angeles court yesterday (17-05-05) for a review of his of his probation status. .

Sizemore's probation, issued after he was convicted last October for methamphetamine possession, was revoked in July after he admitted to violating the conditions by repeatedly missing compulsory drug tests and using a prosthetic device to beat a urine test in May. .
Superior Court Judge Paula Adele Mabrey told Sizemore: "I have seen a remarkable improvement. I believe that you know what you need to do to stay out of prison".

However, Judge Mabrey warned the troubled star he could face 16 months in prison if he breaks the terms of his probation order again. Sizemore's attorney Michael Rovell said his client will continue outpatient treatment at the Pasadena rehab centre three days a week.

Last month, it was revealed Sizemore is to release a series of home-made sex films.

The star, who filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, is bringing out the adult home movies he made with nine different women to try and raise cash.

Tom Sizemore violates probation again
Traces of amphetamines found, but judge doesn't send him back to jail
Associated Press
December 2, 2005

LOS ANGELES - Prosecutors said Tom Sizemore violated his probation after traces of amphetamines were found in his urine, but a judge on Friday opted not to send the actor back to jail.

Sizemore’s probation, stemming from a conviction for methamphetamine possession, had been revoked in July after he admitted to using a prosthetic device to fake a drug test and failing to be checked for drugs every three days.

In October, Superior Court Judge Paula Mabrey reinstated the 44-year-old actor’s probation for making “remarkable” progress in his battle with drugs, but warned that he could face 16 months in prison if he relapsed.

On Friday, prosecutors asked that Sizemore’s probation again be revoked because of the positive drug test. His lawyers countered that test results were tainted because of medication being prescribed by Sizemore’s doctor.

Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman set a Jan. 13 hearing to determine if Sizemore’s probation should be revoked again and asked his lawyers to provide more information about the prescription drug and whether an alternative can be used.

Sizemore, who appeared in “Saving Private Ryan” and “Black Hawk Down,” was convicted in 2003 of domestic violence involving his ex-girlfriend, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. He is free on bail pending appeal.

Lockup Looms For Tom Sizemore After Drug-Test Failure
by Mike Baron, Post Chronicle
Feb 4, 2006

Tom Sizemore is facing jail as prosecutors accuse him of violating probation by taking drugs, according to wire reports. The 'Saving Private Ryan' star allegedly failed a drug test last month, and was thrown out of a drug treatment program earlier this week for arguing with someone, it is alleged, but he claims they were just talking. The unnamed man will testify on his behalf, says the actor.

Sizemore is currently serving probation on a 2004 conviction for possessing methamphetamines. With this latest slip-up, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman has called a hearing to decide if he has violated his terms.

In May 2005, he was found to have faked a drug test, so if he is found guilty again he could be imprisoned for 16 months.
