Columbus Short posted bail late Wednesday night following his arrest at his own album release party on Tuesday.

“He is being released from jail tonight,” former “Scandal” actor’s lawyer Ludlow B. Creary told TheWrap.ย Creary said that his client would no longer have to attend a court hearingย scheduled for Thursday morning.

Short’s latest arrest came at the hands ofย bounty hunters just before he was about to performย at Universal Studios City Walk in Los Angeles.ย Following his arrest, he wasย held on $250,000 bail at the Men’s Central Jail, but has now been released.

“His arrest was not due to an outstanding warrant as was erroneously reported,” hisย rep said.
