According to TMZ, there was a warrant out for Short’s arrest stemming from his failure to appear in court for one of his domestic violence cases. A bench warrant was issued, and the bounty hunters knew exactly where to find him.

In the video posted on TMZ, you can see Short telling the bounty hunters how he didn't feel safe. The bounty hunters then informed him that he was considered a flight risk. Apparently the hunters will be paid quite well because they’ll get a piece of his $500,000 bail.

All of this could have been avoided with a simple court appearance.
