Darius McCrary, best known for playing Edward “Eddie” Winslow in the show Family Matters, was reportedly held at the U.S. border before getting arrested.

The details surrounding the warrant and the circumstances of his arrest remain unclear at this time.
Darius McCrary held in San Diego after fugitive arrest at US border
Darius McCrary is being held at San Diego Central Jail after being arrested by the United States Border Patrol. His arrest reportedly took place at the US-Mexico border on October 5, 2025. According to records, this is a “fugitive arrest,” which seems to be for an out-of-state felony charge based on the code section of his arrest. Currently, he is not eligible for bail, with his court date set for Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
As per TMZ, his rep stated that the warrant from a Michigan case stems from a missed court appearance. The court appearance was for McCrary’s failure to pay child support, for which he is also reported to have been arrested twice before. His first arrest was in Michigan in 2015, and he was released after paying a fine. Later in 2023, authorities arrested him again over unpaid back payments. This time, he pleaded not guilty and secured release on bond with location monitoring.
McCrary married Tammy Brawner in 2014, and they finalized their divorce in 2019. At the time, Brawner received full legal and physical custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Zoey. As per reports, the court ordered him to pay Brawner a child support sum of $1,366.
Despite all the reports and speculation, the exact nature of the warrant remains unclear and is expected to be revealed during the upcoming court hearing.
