Columbus Short had a successful stint as Harrison Wright on the wildly popular Television Show ‘Scandal’ before being arrested for domestic violence against his estranged wife Tanee McCall. Short’s legal troubles continued when he allegedly assaulted a man during a fight at a Los Angeles bar. Short was placed under citizen’s arrest by his bondsman during a sound check for his album launch at the Infusion Lounge in Studio City on August 18, 2015.
The bondsman allegedly believed that Short had planned to flee the country. The bondsman arrest was, according to his rep, not due to an outstanding warrant but rather an issue between him and his bondsman as reported by US Weekly. He was however, turned over to the Los Angeles County Sheriff early this morning for booking. The embattled star has admitted to dealing with substance abuse issues. Prior to this a bench warrant had been issued in the felony assault case when he failed to appear because of a flight issue. The judge in the matter also doubled his bail and ordered him not to leave California.
