Former Scandal actor Columbus Short continues to live the life of struggle. Superhead’s estranged husband was in court yesterday and the judge hit him with a 30-day jail sentence for violating his probation. 

Reports TMZ:

The ex “Scandal” star was in court Wednesday for a progress report where the judge handed down the jail sentence, plus 6 months in a residential drug treatment program.

Prosecutors said Short was violating his probation from a 2014 assault case by continuing to smoke marijuana — testing showed his THC levels were increasing weekly. They also say he’s done ZERO hours of community service.

Short tried playing the sympathy card — his lawyer informed the judge Short’s sister died of heart failure last week. It didn’t work and ultimately, Short apologized.

He’d already been in custody for 6 days, and was immediately taken back to jail to do 24 more.

We sincerely hope Short gets the help he needs.
