MStars News has learned that former Scandal star, Columbus Short has finally been arrested. According to TMZ, Short was cuffed and taken into custody in a Van Nuys courtroom.

The 31-year-old became a wanted man in July when he failed to appear in court for his criminal domestic violence case. The actor decided to go on vacation to Barbados instead. After not taking the appearance serious the judge in the case issued an arrest warrant and set Short's bail at $40K.

A brave Short decided to skip out on another hearing this week, claiming to be still relaxing on white sand, and clear blue beaches. As a result, the outraged judge increased the bail to $500K.

The former "Scandal" star finally appeared this morning to turn himself in, and was immediately arrested.

The crazy part is Short was scheduled for another hearing today in another criminal case that involved the bar fight, that we previously reported on. Once again Short was a no show, because this time he was in custody.

Now get this ... Short had another hearing today in a criminal case involving a bar fight, but he didn't show because he was in custody. The judge working that case has issued a second arrest warrant, and the bail for that case is at $250K.

SMH, wow.
