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

The Family Matters actor awaits an Oct. 15 San Diego court appearance on a fugitive-designated case that his representative ties to a missed Michigan child-support hearing.

Overview

  • U.S. Border Patrol arrested and booked McCrary on Oct. 5 near the U.S.–Mexico border in San Diego on an out-of-state felony warrant listed as a “fugitive arrest.”
  • Booking and court records show he is not eligible for release or bail and remains jailed in San Diego.
  • San Diego court listings set his first appearance for Wednesday, Oct. 15, and reports note a possible transfer to Michigan after proceedings.
  • His representative says the warrant originated in Michigan after a missed child-support court date, citing a notice sent to a P.O. Box and a COVID illness, and says he learned of it while working on a Tijuana housing project.
  • Prior cases include arrests in 2015 and 2023 over unpaid support, with 2023 documents citing about $52,788 owed, and a 2019 order requiring $1,366 per month in child support.
