(WWJ) A retro TV sitcom star is sitting in the Oakland County jail because authorities say he didn't pay court-ordered child support.
Records from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office show Darius McCrary, who played Eddie Winslow on "Family Matters" in the 1990s, was booked into the jail at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday on charges for failing to pay child support.
He allegedly owes more than $75,000 in past-due support, officials said.
McCrary, 49, was arrested on Oct. 5 at the U.S.-Mexico border in California on an out-of-state felony warrant. He was held in a San Diego jail until he could be extradited to Michigan. Once he arrived, he was taken into custody by Oakland County authorities.
Records show McCrary's bond was revoked in June 2024 for failing to attend a June 24 hearing and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to reports, McCrary has repeatedly been cited for failing to pay child support. The Detroit Free Press said, in May 2024, he owed nearly $100,000 to his then-16-year-old child's mother, who lives in Oakland County.
