Police are looking for Columbus Short, there’s a warrant out for his arrest
Columbus Short is known as the man who stands next to Kerry Washington on the hit TV show, “Scandal.” Short is now also known as a wanted man.
The Scandal star, according to TMZ, has a warrant out for his arrest in an incident that involved a fight at a bar. Police are saying that he sucker punched a man for running his mouth, which is a serious felony that can land him in prison.
Short is accused of punching the man at an engagement party, allegedly leaving the victim with a broken nose. The man also says that the punch was so bad that it left him unconcious. This week, the judge issued the warrant for Short’s arrest on charges of felony aggravated battery. The reason it’s a felony is because there was serious bodily injury involved.
If he’s convicted, Short faces a sentence of four years in prison. His bond has been set at $50,000, and he has yet to turn himself in to police.
Short is just the second black celebrity this week to have a warrant out for his arrest. Anita Baker also found herself subject to police scrutiny over an arrest warrant issued over a lawsuit for the tiny sum of $15,000. Baker resolved her situation and had the warrant lifted. Things might not be so easy for Mr. Short. You can’t be on the top television show in America and go around punching people out. You can pay someone to do the punching for you.
For the record, here’s a picture of what the guy looked like after the punch. He looks like he’s going to be suing for a lot of money:

Lunacy catches up with us all regardless of our private or public stature. The thing that separates private from public is fame and fortune. Fame may create as many problems as solution and fortune may help to significantly resolve serious problems. I’d wager that a bit of a settlement will end this debacle soon enough. No need to worry fans. You can all go back to what you were doing now!

“You can pay someone to do the punching for you” is very inapproptriate. Get some class.

“…black males so full of rage and violence”. That’s ironic, it’s white men who have and are creating all of the wars around the world, it’s white men that serially kill everybody when they lose their jobs and don’t have enough stolen land to ride their horseys. You’re a little confused aren’t you buddy.

People are looking for a check everyday,and they prey on celebrities with a little cash.Columbus Short needs to control his temper before he runs into another real hot head,which could really cost him in a bad way….He should lawyer up and turn himself in to get the situation resolved…Calm down Columbus Short.

I don’t think Short lives at that bar. If someone was talking too much, Short should have left and gone home. That’s where we control situations with limited consequences.

I only see a little blood from his nose and/or mouth. His eyes look closed but not swollen. I hope that Mr. Short can explain this mayhem. He is doing so well.

Mr. Short is a gifted actor. He appears to not have any sense. Can’t see the forrest for the trees.

Since I was not there, have no idea who is at fault, but I do know that there are those just itching to start something with gifted people just so they can make a dime off of someone else’s fame.

BEFORE WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE MR. SHORT, I BELIEVE IT IS BEST THAT ALL THE FACTS ARE HEARD. MR. SHORT IS A GIFTED ACTOR, WHOSE CAREER IS JUST ABOUT TO GO TO HIGH HEIGHTS. IT’S SEEMS LIKE BEFORE BLACK FOLKS WHO ARE ABOUT TO BREAK THEIR ARTISTIC CEILINGS ALWAYS RUN AN INTERFERENCE WITH THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM. AGAIN WE NEED TO HEAR ALL THE FACTS. IT COULD BE THAT MR. SHORT WAS SET UP. I RECOMMEND THAT MR. SHORT NOT RUN. AS FOR THAT IGNORANT ‘CORBIN’ WHO SAID THAT BLACK MEN HAVE RAGE, YOU ARE A TROUBLE MAKER WITHOUT A HEART.
