Actor Sizemore held following drugs arrest

American actor Tom Sizemore has surrendered to face a Los Angeles hearing on whether he violated probation when he was arrested for drug possession.

American actor Tom Sizemore has surrendered to face a Los Angeles hearing on whether he violated probation when he was arrested for drug possession.

Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis ordered the 'Saving Private Ryan' actor to be held without bail pending a June 19 hearing, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.

Sizemore, 45, had arrived at a county courthouse in a convertible and was greeted by reporters.

When asked how he was doing, he replied: "I'm OK."

Sizemore was arrested last month at a Bakersfield hotel after authorities said they found methamphetamines in his car.

He was released, but a Los Angeles judge later issued a warrant for his arrest for violating probation in another methamphetamine case.

If convicted, he could be forced to serve a 16-month prison sentence.

In the Bakersfield case, Sizemore has pleaded not guilty to seven drug-related charges, including transportation and possession of methamphetamines, possession of prescription drugs without the proper prescription and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

He faces up to six years in prison if convicted.
