Actor Darius McCrary, who played son Eddie Winslow on "Family Matters," was jailed for unpaid child support on Wednesday, although he reportedly paid what was owed and was out in a few hours.
TMZ reported McCrary was in family court in Oakland County, Michigan, over the fact that he was $5,500 behind in child support.
“Darius was given 2 options — pay $5,500 in back support, or unpack and relax for 14 days behind bars. Darius chose door number 1,” TMZ wrote.
BET reported that McCrary previously had full custody of his son, Zechariah, and shared custody with the child’s mother. Last year, the actor described fatherhood as “a joy.”
“It’s my greatest role to date," McCrary said. "Zech is just so awesome. He just reminds me every day of the responsibility I have as a man and a father. Not only to him but to myself. The better I am for me, the better I am for him.”
Although it’s unclear what has happened in McCrary’s relationship, several tweets hounded the actor to tell his story:
