Actor Tom Sizemore’s probation in a domestic abuse case involving former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss was revoked Thursday because he failed to complete a drug test.

The judge allowed Sizemore to remain free pending an evidence hearing on Nov. 8.

Sizemore, 42, who has appeared in such films as “Black Hawk Down” and “Saving Private Ryan,” was sentenced in October to six months in jail on misdemeanor charges of physically abusing Fleiss during their two-year relationship.

Authorities said Sizemore refused to provide a urine sample for a drug test at a probation office last month. “He simply walked out,” prosecutor Robert Cha said.

Sizemore’s attorney said the actor passed a test at his drug counselor’s office that day, but he declined to take a test at the probation office because an officer he didn’t recognize wanted to search him and he feared the results might be tampered with.

“I have every reason to believe him when he tells me that he is clean,” attorney Michael Rovell said.

Authorities still are deciding whether to file charges against Sizemore in connection with his Aug. 11 arrest at his West Hollywood home, where police said they found drugs.

The drugs “belonged to somebody else and were planted,” his attorney said. He did not elaborate.
