NBC 3 - Louisville  On Tuesday night, 29-year-old Bradley Scherzinger of La Grange, Kentucky was arrested for DUI.  But while he was cuffed and being processed at the jail, he managed to ESCAPE.

Because he had somewhere to be.  See . . . Bradley was due in court on Wednesday morning for a hearing in his domestic violence case.  And he didn't want to miss that appearance.

So Bradley sat there in court . . . trying to hide the fact that he was STILL IN HANDCUFFS.

The judge actually DISMISSED the domestic violence case . . . but also spotted the handcuffs.  Court officials coordinated with the cops and figured out what happened.

Bradley is now facing felony charges for DUI . . . and for escape.
