Celebrity Justice
Sizemore Busted for Crystal Meth -- AGAIN!

"Black Hawk Down" star Tom Sizemore is back behind bars today after cops say the actor had been using crystal meth outside of a hotel in Bakersfield, Calif.

Sizemore, who is currently on probation for another drug rap in 2004, was taken into custody early Tuesday morning after an associate allegedly tried to fight an employee outside the Four Points Sheraton hotel. The associate, Jason Salcido, was also arrested. Cops say Salcido was carrying a "narcotic smoking pipe" at the time of the bust.

A search of the 2004 Ford Mustang that Sizemore was sitting in during the arrest allegedly yielded two bags of meth and pipes.

According to police sources, Sizemore was booked at the Kern County Jail on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia.

Bail has been set at $14,000.

33. I hope noone gets him out! I'm afraid the next time we hear about him will be regarding his death. What a tragedy! He is a fantastic actor, if he would pull himself together I'm sure Hollywood would give him another chance.

34.
Tom Sizemore doesn't "choose" to do drugs at this point. He cannot stop. Anyone who knows anything about drug addiction understands that. At this point he only has 2 options: quit doing drugs or die. It would probably be a relief to him to die.

35. I feel sorry for him...he was doing so well a few months ago.
The Judge even praised his efforts.

Hope he get's back on track...there must be some huge amount of pain behind his addiction.

36. Jenni,

Let's hope he can get better...A relief for him to die at this point is probally something he can overcome. With a hell of a lot of work and desire...
I agree, it's not a choice at this point.

Maybe a few years from now, he'll say to himself...I don't even recgonize who that person was. I hope for that...

37. Crystal Meth is the worst drug ever... Once you tryed it your hooked for life.... He will always have this monkey on his back.... My 22 year old son is addicted and I tryed everything possible to get him help and he doesnt want it at all... ! But I am not giving up hope...

Sizemore isnt ready to give up the drugs yet until he really hits rock bottom then they will get help..

40. This is such a shame and a waste of talent and a life. Tom Sizemore is a great actor and he has thrown away all his gifts. I hope he can sober up and clean up his life. I really feel sorry for him.

44. Bakersfield? oh hahahaha... BAKERSFIELD? a hotel in bakersfield? it just doesn't get much seedier than that....does he still have all his teeth or have they fallen out from the meth?

45. This man is DOA, just like his career. People like this can never do drugs or alcohol...you have to decide "do I want to live or do I want this crack pipe?"
"do i want to look good or do I want this chocolate cake?" It is all wrestling the same beast
