Former 'Family Matters' Star Darius McCrary Arrested Over Child Support Payments

A former “Family Matters” star could take better care of his kid.

Darius McCrary, whose Eddie Winslow was upstaged by lovable nerd Steve Urkel on the 1990s show, was busted Wednesday in Michigan for failing to pay child support, authorities told the Daily News.

An Oakland County judge ordered sheriff’s deputies to arrest the former child star during a court appearance on Wednesday, giving McCrary an ultimatum: Pay a $5,500 fine or sit in jail.

The 38-year-old actor was booked but quickly decided to pay up rather than sleep over, authorities said.

McCrary faced up to two weeks behind bars, according the TMZ.com, which first reported the arrest.
