Darius McCrary In Feds Hands!

It's a rare condition, this day and age.

It is more than Family Matters.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death got to him.

Darius McCrary is caught up in a big scandal. He is currently in California awaiting trial for an incident involving his ex-wife.

McCrary, who played the role of Eddie Winslow on the ABC/CBS sitcom from 1989-1998, has spent the last 10 days in a San Diego-area jail after he was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents on October 5.

He and his ex-wife Tammy Brawner are currently feuding and it involves their child.

McCrary owes nearly $100,000 in child support from Michigan. He is currently facing up to four years if convicted.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

A judge ruled that the 49-year-old actor remained a flight risk in his ongoing case, after he was taken into custody earlier this month at the U.S.-Mexico border by the United States Border Patrol for an out-of-state felony warrant.

McCrary had initially chosen to represent himself in the case but the judge appointed him a public defender. He will be held in a San Diego jail until he is extradited back to Michigan within 30 days, where his warrant was issued, following a missed court appearance for alleged unpaid child support.

The actor’s rep, Ann Barlow, told People that McCrary is “not a flight risk because he has no ties to Tijuana.” She claimed that he accidentally crossed into Mexico due to “a mix-up (about) where to meet his partner for the Esperanza program.”

They accuse McCrary of fleeing domestic violence charges.

“He was going to Tijuana, Mexico, partnering with a real estate developer that was building homes for the homeless in Tijuana. Mr. McCrary was there to speak encouragement and light to the homeless,” she continued.

“The missed court appearance that the warrant was stemming from was only because Oakland County sent the notice to appear in court to his P.O. box, giving him only three days to appear in court.”

Barlow claimed that McCrary wasn’t checking his P.O. box as often as he usually does because he was sick.

She alleged that when McCrary opened the notice, he had already missed the date, and she claimed that the “judge was immediately notified with a doctor’s note that he had COVID.”

McCrary has faced legal struggles over the years involving his estranged wife, Tammy Brawner. In February 2019, McCrary had nearly finalized his divorce with Brawner, according to People.

In their divorce judgment, Brawner, a former player for the Harlem Globetrotters, was granted full legal and physical custody of the former couple’s daughter, Zoey.

McCrary was ordered to attend alcohol/drug abuse and batterers’ intervention classes within 12 months and was required to enroll and complete a series of parenting classes. He was also ordered to submit to two random drug tests within 60 days of the judgement.

His rep said McCrary was volunteering with the program to help build homes for unhoused people.

She added that McCrary plans to continue to fight his case in Michigan.

McCrary has another court date set for Nov. 14.

The Young and the Restless actor was ordered to pay $1,366 a month in child support, with a base amount of $916 plus $415 in child-care costs.

Brawner filed for divorce from McCrary in March 2017, citing irreconcilable differences.

Years ago, McCrary faced allegations of domestic violence and child abuse. In March 2018, Brawner alleged that the actor “partially dislocated our daughter’s arm.”

Brawner attached medical records that described Zoey’s injury, according to court documents.

She apparently told doctors that Zoey was taken by McCrary to the bathroom and he “grabbed her arm.”

The actor denied the accusation and claimed that he only “grabbed one hand to lift her up and immediately grabbed the other.”

Zoey was reportedly diagnosed with nursemaid’s elbow, or a “pulled elbow,” in which a child’s elbow partially dislocates.

In those court documents, Brawner reflected on one particular incident in which she claims that McCrary held their daughter over a boiling pot of water and said he wished he never had her.

Brawner also claimed the actor frequently spanked their daughter and sometimes strapped her arms during meals.

She also recalled the incident that had prompted her to obtain a restraining order: She said that on Feb. 10, 2017, McCrary began throwing picture frames and other objects around the house, with some coming dangerously close to hitting their then-infant daughter. She also accused him of hitting her in the head with his forearm.

Brawner claimed that McCrary regularly drank and used drugs and became violent when he was intoxicated.

A judge ruled in favor of Brawner at the time, ordering McCrary to move out of the family home and stay a minimum of 300 feet away from her and their daughter.
