Colombus Short face More Trouble with Failed Drug Tests

It is trying times for former Scandal actor, Columbus Short, according to court reports, he tested positive for cocaine and marijuana use and is now facing violation of probation in his felony assault case.

The actor who was served a temporary restraining order by his new wife, Karrine Steffans a few weeks ago, pleaded no contest to his felony assault charge in September 2015 which was a result of him knocking Fenton Hyche III unconscious, giving the victim a concussion and fractured eye socket in March 2014 and was ordered to pay him more than $14,000 in restitution to cover medical bills and lost wages.

The Stomp the Yard actor was sentenced to three years supervised probation, two months of community service and anger management counseling. He has completed his anger management counselling while waiting to fulfill the terms of his community service.

Judge Leslie E. Brown of the Los Angeles has ordered the actor to appear him on May 9 to address the new charges of the failed drug tests .

Colombus Short who was fired from Scandal has already addressed his drug use and drinking which led to his departure from Shonda Rhimes’ ABC hit series-Scandal on Access Hollywood in 2014, therefore, his lawyer, Ludlow B. Creary II stated that no further comment on it was necessary and believed his client’s legal problems are overblown. He however hopes that Short will “complete his probation, and get on with his career.”

“It’s our belief that Mr. Short is going to continue to make progress,” Creary said
