Judge Orders Sizemore To Appear in Court
A judge has ordered troubled actor Tom Sizemore to appear in court
next week to explain possible probation violations. The Black Hawk Down
star has failed to notify his probation officer after moving and has
not enrolled in a drug treatment facility, says Deputy District
Attorney Sean Carney. Sizemore, 43, 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. He has been allowed to remain
free while appealing a separate conviction for domestic violence
involving his ex-girlfriend, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. Since
the sentencing, Sizemore has gone to a treatment centre for assessment
but hasn't enrolled in the program, says Carney. In Los Angeles
Superior Court yesterday, the actor asked Judge Paula Mabrey to let him
travel to Thailand for work. The judge did not rule on that request but
ordered Sizemore back in court June 2 to answer the parole violation
allegations.
