Former "Family Matters" Star Arrested at Border on Felony Warrant
11 Oct
Summary
- Darius McCrary, who played Eddie Winslow, arrested at U.S.-Mexico border
- Warrant issued in Michigan for missed child support payments
- McCrary has history of arrests over unpaid child support
On October 5, 2025, former "Family Matters" actor Darius McCrary was arrested by United States Border Patrol at the U.S.-Mexico border. McCrary, who portrayed the character of Eddie Winslow on the hit 1990s sitcom, was taken into custody on an out-of-state felony warrant.
The warrant was issued in Michigan, where McCrary allegedly missed a court appearance regarding his failure to pay child support. This is not the first time the actor has faced legal troubles over unpaid child support. Court documents reveal that McCrary has been arrested twice before for missed payments, most recently in 2023, when he owed over $52,000.
McCrary's legal issues stem from his lengthy and acrimonious divorce from former Harlem Globetrotters player Tammy Brawner. The pair finalized their divorce in 2019, with McCrary agreeing to provide $1,366 per month in child support for their daughter. However, it appears the actor has struggled to keep up with these payments, leading to the latest warrant and his arrest at the border.
