Sizemore Ordered To Stay in Rehab
A judge has ordered Tom Sizemore to stay in a rehab centre until he is
sentenced in September for violating probation on drug charges.
Sizemore confessed falsifying urine tests and failing to provide
samples on eight occasions and other violations at Los Angeles Superior
Court on Friday - accusations he had previously denied. The Saving
Private Ryan star was ordered to attend the clinic after admitting drug
possession in October. He faces a three year prison sentence when
sentenced on September 15. Sizemore's lawyer told the court the actor
had booked himself into a live-in centre in Pasadena, California on
July 11 - at which point the judge ordered him to remain there until
September and to undergo weekly drug tests. The star is currently
embroiled in a legal mess. He first violated probation when he admitted
taking drugs in while appealing against a 2003 conviction of domestic
abuse against former lover Heidi Fleiss. Sizemore was sentenced to 17
months in prison in March after violating probation with drug charges.
He was granted bail pending appeal.
