Who is Darius McCrary married to? Family explored amid the 'Family Matters' alum's arrest over alleged child support warrant

Darius McCrary, the Family Matters alum, was reportedly arrested for the third time since 2015. According to records reviewed by multiple outlets, Darious was arrested on October 5 by the United States Border Patrol near the U.S.-Mexico border in California for an out-of-state felony warrant. Per TMZ, it is a "fugitive arrest."

His representative told the outlet that the arrest warrant for Darius is due to his skipping a court date in Michigan related to child support payments he did not make.

Meanwhile, his representative told US Weekly that the actor "was picked up at the Border of Mexico because he was partnering with a real estate developer that is building homes for the homeless in Tijuana, Mexico."

They added:

"Darius was doing a good deed when he discovered he had a felony warrant at the Border of Mexico for a missed court appearance. The missed court appearance was for an ongoing child support dispute whereas Oakland County mailed the notice to appear to Darius PO BOX giving him only 3 days to appear in Michigan Court. Unfortunately Darius had Covid therefore did not check his PO Box until the day after his court date. However immediately notified the Judge with a doctor’s note diagnosis of Covid."

The representative also claimed that Darius's 18-year-old son is the beneficiary of a trust McCrary set up, from where he is "funded every month."
