Veteran character actor and Hollywood bad boy Tom Sizemore is in trouble with the law again, this time in Bakersfield.
Sizemore was arrested on three drug-related charges by Bakersfield police after the actor challenged a hotel desk clerk to a fight, Bakersfield Det. Greg Terry said.
Sizemore, in town shooting an independent movie, was trying to check into the Four Points Sheraton Hotel on California Avenue Tuesday morning at about 7:30 a.m., Terry said.
Sizemore and another actor, Jason Salcedo, got into an argument with hotel staff, Terry said, and after Sizemore challenged a clerk to a fight, the police were called.
Police found Sizemore sitting in his car in the hotel’s parking lot, Terry said, and was arrested without incident.
Police arrested him on possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotic paraphernalia and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
He and Salcedo were booked into the Kern County Jail and were still there as of noon, Terry said.
Terry said Sizemore is on probation.
Sizemore is most well-known for playing the loyal sergeant in “Saving Private Ryan,” but has appeared in more than 75 movies, with 12 scheduled for release this year alone, according to the Intermet Movie Database.
He recently appeared in a VH1 reality show titled “Shooting Sizemore” that tailed him and documented his personal troubles.
