Tom Sizemore Arrested on Domestic Abuse Charge

Actor was booked for cohabitant abuse on Tuesday

More trouble for Tom Sizemore.

Less than two weeks after reports that Sizemore was involved in an on-set accident that injured a stuntman while filming the USA Network series “Shooter,” the actor was arrested on Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police  Department has told TheWrap.

According to police, Sizemore was booked for cohabitant abuse after officers responded to a radio call at his Los Angeles residence.

The actor is being held on $50,000 bail.

This isn’t Sizemore’s first brush with the law involving violence. In 2003 Sizemore, who has struggled with substance abuse, was convicted of assault and battery on his girlfriend Heidi Fleiss, also known as the “Hollywood Madam.” The two later appeared together on “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.”

On Monday, USA announced it had pushed the premiere of “Shooter” back to the fall, out of sensitivity to the recent police-involved shootings that had taken place and the upcoming presidential election.

A representative for Sizemore has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment on Tuesday’s arrest.

Sizemore’s credits include “Saving Private Ryan,” “Black Hawk Down,” “Natural Born Killers” and “Heat.” He’s  also slated to appear in Showtime’s upcoming reboot of the David Lynch series “Twin Peaks.”
