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.

Honestly, if I didn’t have VH1, I’m not sure Tom Sizemore would be anywhere in my radar.

VH1 gave Tom Sizemore his own Celebreality show called Shooting Sizemore. The show basically followed him around as he tried to get clean off of drugs, specifically methamphetamines and heroin.

I only watched one or two episodes where he took a medication and then drank some wine, not knowing how strongly the alcohol in the wine would affect the medicine he took. Just watching this man, I just started crying. VH1 was literally allowing me to watch this man break down, stumble and fall. It was heart-wrenching to watch. I wanted to help him up from the ground.

If you’d like, you can watch the show on VH1’s V-SPOT: Shooting Sizemore. I couldn’t figure out how to embed it, but go to the “Shooting Sizemore: Stumbling” episode.

The last episode, I believe, ended with things looking up for Tom. But this news makes me really sad.
