More Trouble for Tom Sizemore
Another day, another bad report card for trouble-magnet Tom Sizemore.
Prosecutors claim the Black Hawk Down actor violated his probation for the second time in just five months, after traces of amphetamines were found during a court-ordered urine test.
Lawyers for Sizemore, 44, claim the test results were tainted due to the prescribed medication selegiline, a drug commonly used to treat Parkinson's disease, and not the result of their client falling back into old habits.
"This is a perfectly harmless agent," Dr. Joseph Haraszti, Sizemore's physician, said following Friday's hearing, per City News Service. "This helps with depression...and doesn't have the same biologic effect of euphoria and everything else[associated with illegal drugs]."
Sizemore attorney Michael Rovell also argued that the inhaler the actor uses to treat his asthma could produce a positive result on the drug test.
Deputy District Attorney Sean Carney doesn't buy either argument, claiming the actor has made "multiple attempts to deceive the court" in prior hearings.
Regardless, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman opted not to send the actor back to jail immediately Friday. Instead, he requested that the defense provide more information about the prescription medication, and any possible alternative treatments that wouldn't affect a drug test, at a Jan. 13 hearing.
At that time, Herman will rule on whether or not Sizemore has violated his probation and determine whether or not his probation should be revoked, which could send Sizemore to the slammer.
Herman was assigned to the case after the judge who previously handled Sizemore's case, Paula Mabrey, was transferred to another courthouse.
Following the hearing, Haraszti praised Sizemore for "doing beautifully" in his treatment.
Should the judge find Sizemore guilty of violating his probation, it will be the second time this year.
The actor's probation was previously revoked in July, after admitting to a series of violations, most memorably his use of a Whizzinator to fake negative results during a urine test.
Sizemore's probation was reinstated in October, however, after Mabrey congratulated the actor for his good behavior and adherence to being treated at a live-in rehab center.
But Mabrey also warned Sizemore that he could face up to 16 months in prison should another violation occur.
Sizemore is currently free on bail pending appeal on another trial in which he faces charges of misdemeanor domestic violence, harassment, vandalism, and making threats against former girlfriend and notorious Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.
Last month, it came to light that a photo of a bruised Fleiss--a key piece of evidence in his trial--may have been fabricated.
Meanwhile, there might be some good news on Sizemore's horizon.
The actor has been shopping around a no-holds-barred reality series revolving around his life, tentatively titled Super Sizemore, with a handful of networks said to be interested.
