Darius McCrary, best known for playing Eddie Winslow on the 1990s sitcom “Family Matters,” was booked into the Oakland County Jail after being arrested on a felony warrant related to unpaid child support. The 49-year-old actor was apprehended at the U.S.–Mexico border by U.S. Border Patrol agents in early October and later extradited to Michigan to face charges. Court records show McCrary had failed to appear for hearings and had repeatedly been cited for missing payments, with past-due support amounts reaching tens of thousands of dollars.

The legal troubles stem from a long-running dispute with his ex-wife over child support for their daughter. McCrary’s bond was set at nearly $19,000 as he awaited further court proceedings, and he faces multiple felony counts that could carry significant prison time if convicted. His arrest has drawn attention due to his celebrity.
