PUBLISHED SEP 20, 2018

Former 'Scandal' star, who failed to appear in court as a part of his divorce proceedings with ex-wife Tuere Tanee Short, had an arrest warrant issued against his name on his 36th birthday, TMZ reported.

In 2014, following the infamous bar brawl for which Short was arrested, Tanee had filed a divorce petition against her 31-year-old husband. Tanee also complained that Short had threatened to kill both her and himself in a drunken state, which in a way compelled her to plea for the restraining orders and for seeking complete legal custody of their daughter, Ayala.

Apparently, the hearing for which Short did not appear was regarding a debtor examination where he would have to answer questions about his finances under the oath.
