The actor finally got the message, ended his vacation, showed up to face the music and was arrested immediately. And it gets even crazier from there: He was due in court today for another case involving a bar fight … which he didn’t show up for because he was in custody in the domestic violence case. Not amused or willing to cut Short a break under the circumstances, the judge issued a second warrant for his arrest there and set bail at $250,000.
