‘Family Matters’ star Darius McCrary arrested near U.S.-Mexico border

(KTLA) — Actor and singer Darius McCrary, best known for playing Eddie Winslow on the ’90s hit sitcom “Family Matters,” was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol on Oct. 5 for an out-of-state warrant, according to reports from People and TMZ.

McCrary, 49, is being held without bail in a San Diego jail, according to court information obtained by both outlets. McCrary’s representative Ann Barlow told TMZ his arrest warrant out of Michigan was due to a missed court appearance related to failure to pay child support.

McCrary was previously arrested for failure to pay child support in 2015 and in 2023. The actor’s 2017 divorce from former Harlem Globetrotter Tammy Brawner also brought about legal issues for McCrary, as Brawner was given full custody of the couple’s daughter Zoey. In order to receive visitation, he was ordered to attend drug and alcohol abuse and a batterer intervention program, which aims to address abusive behavior, according to People.

Nexstar reached out to McCrary’s representative but did not immediately hear back.

McCrary’s first court date is scheduled for Oct. 15.
