[b][url="http://www.tmz.com/person/tom-sizemore/"]Tom Sizemore[/url] [/b]tells TMZ ... he was arrested last night because a guy he barely knows stole a car -- and cops followed the trail right back to him.

According to Tom, the car jacker was a friend of a friend -- and when the guy got arrested recently ... he told cops he lived at the address where Tom resides.

As [url="http://www.tmz.com/2011/09/20/tom-sizemore-arrested-misdemeanor-warrant-battery-lapd-officers/"][b]we previously reported[/b][/url], police came a-knockin' soon after -- ran Tom's license and discovered he had an outstanding battery warrant ... so they arrested him.

Tom tells us, the warrant is the result of a clerical error  -- claiming someone at the courthouse failed to log his community service hours stemming from the actor's 2009 [url="http://www.tmz.com/2009/08/27/tom-sizemore-charged-for-spousal-battery/"][b]spousal battery arrest[/b][/url].

There's an explanation for everything ... right?
