Darius McCrary Held Without Bail After Border Arrest on Out-of-State Warrant

He awaits an Oct. 15 San Diego court appearance tied to a Michigan child-support case, per official records.

Overview

  • U.S. Border Patrol arrested the 49-year-old near the U.S.–Mexico border on Oct. 5 and booked him into a San Diego jail at 7:17 p.m., records show.
  • Online booking information lists a “fugitive arrest,” a California designation for individuals wanted in another state.
  • San Diego jail and court records indicate he is not eligible for bail and is the defendant in an open criminal case with a hearing set for Wednesday.
  • His representative says the warrant originated in Michigan after a missed child-support hearing and attributes the absence to short-notice mail to a P.O. box and a COVID illness, adding he had been in Tijuana for charitable work.
  • McCrary previously faced child-support cases, including arrests in 2015 and 2023; filings in 2023 cited more than $52,000 in alleged arrears following divorce orders that set monthly support.
