Summary
- Darius McCrary, known for 'Family Matters', jailed since Sunday
- Arrested at U.S.-Mexico border on warrant for missed child support
- Rep says he didn't know about warrant, was going to Mexico for charity work
As of October 11th, 2025, former 'Family Matters' star Darius McCrary has been in jail since last Sunday. The actor, who played Eddie Winslow on the popular 1990s sitcom, was arrested at the border between the United States and Mexico on an outstanding warrant for missing a court appearance in Michigan regarding unpaid child support.
McCrary's representative, Ann Barlow, stated that the actor was unaware of the warrant at the time and was actually traveling to Tijuana, Mexico to partner with a real estate developer building homes for the homeless. Barlow explained that the missed court appearance was due to the notice being sent to McCrary's P.O. Box, giving him only three days to appear, and that he had been sick and not checking the box as frequently.
