Tom Sizemore Sentenced to 16 Months in Prison
Move over, Paris. The latest celeb-inmate to hit the jails of California is none other than Shooting Sizemore star Tom Sizemore. His drug addiction and violation of the terms of a previous probation has done him in this time. Eonline.com reports:
Despite a tearful mea culpa by the actor—and a promise to behave himself—Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis agreed with the prosecutor that the 45-year-old Sizemore had violated the terms of his probation by “being under the influence of methamphetamine, opiates and marijuana” when he was arrested last month in Bakersfield.
Fortunately for Tom, he has been sentenced to serve out his term at Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego, which has a rehab center within the prison. Hopefully, this will allow him to get the help he so desperately needs. Anyone who has seen an episode of Shooting Sizemore on VH1 saw how troubled and horribly addicted Tom is to drugs and alcohol. Famous friends, like Martin Sheen, are supporting him in his sentence and recovery so he can be a better role model for his two year old twin sons. His lawyer plans to appeal the sentence and wants time in previous rehab centers and jail stints to be counted toward his 16 months in prison. He was arrested in May along with his friend Jason Salcido for getting into a drug fueled argument at a hotel.
