Darius McCrary was arrested last month for failure to pay child support ... this according to jail records obtained by TMZ.
The "Family Matters" star -- who is dad to two daughters and one son -- was booked on November 27 on a felony count of failure to pay child support.
According to court docs, he had an outstanding arrearage of $52,788.04 as of March 12, 2019.
McCrary pled not guilty at his arraignment, and the judge set his bond conditions at $13,197.01 and being monitored by a GPS device.
Online records show he still remains behind bars.
This isn't the first time Darius has been accused of failing to pay child support ... he was arrested back in 2015 on a similar charge before coughing up around $5,500 in back support.
Two years later, the struggling actor claimed he only made $500 during the previous year ... rendering him unable to pay child support to help out his then-estranged wife, Tammy Brawner.
The duo's divorce was officially finalized in 2019 after a bitter 2-year battle ... and one of the terms of their divorce was that Darius pay Tammy $1,366 per month in child support -- which he's now being accused of not paying.

Tommy Lee forced himself on a woman in a helicopter cockpit ... groping her, kissing her and penetrating her against her consent ... according to a new lawsuit.
The Motley Crüe rocker is being sued by a woman who says the alleged sexual assault happened way back in February 2003 when she was riding in a chopper with Tommy and another man.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman says she was friends with the helicopter pilot, and he invited her on a tour of San Diego County ... but when she got to the airfield, Tommy was there, and she was told the plans changed and they would all three be riding up to Los Angeles.
The woman claims she felt pressured to go, and once airborne she says Tommy and the pilot started drinking alcohol, smoking weed and snorting cocaine.
Tommy Lee Used to Drink 2 Gallons of Vodka a Day, Shocked He's Healthy
In the docs, the woman says the men pressured her to come up to the cockpit and sit on Tommy's lap ... and as soon as she obliged, she says Tommy forced himself on her.
The woman claims Tommy began groping and kissing her, but when she tried to pull away he became more forceful. She claims he penetrated her with his fingers while fondling her breasts.
In the suit, the woman claims Tommy also pulled down his pants and attempted to force her head down towards his genitals.
She says, when they got to Los Angeles, Tommy hugged her and bounced and then the pilot flew her back to San Diego in silence.
In the docs, she says the alleged incident left her feeling shock, distress, humiliation, shame and guilt ... claiming she didn't go to the cops because she didn't think she would be taken seriously.
Since the alleged incident, the woman says she's suffered from anxiety, depression, PTSD and other physical and psychological harms ... and she's going after Tommy for damages.
We reached out to Tommy's camp ... so far no word back.

Prince Harry Wins Landmark Phone Hacking Case Judge Awards Him $180K
Prince Harry just landed a huge victory in his landmark civil suit against the Mirror Group Newspapers, as the judge found the company illegally obtained information from the royal, awarding him about $180,000 in damages!!!
Judge Timothy Fancourt handed down his ruling Friday in a London courtroom, explaining that MGN-owned newspapers unlawfully gathered personal details about Harry's life and published them for the world to read.
Fancourt determined that the tabloids hacked Harry's phone and gained access to his voicemail messages to write their juicy stories.
In his 2019 suit, Harry claimed the intrusions went on for years, and also targeted his wife, Meghan Markle, causing them "considerable distress."
Judge Fancourt found that 15 out of the 33 articles published by The Sunday Mirror and another paper contained information illegally gathered by hacking into Harry's personal phone between 2004 and 2009. Harry's attorney entered a total of 147 newspaper stories into evidence -- and many of them were forensically analyzed.
Prince Harry Unloads on British Press During Testimony in Privacy Case
Most of Harry's allegations in the suit occurred from 1991 to 2011 at a time when he was running third to the British throne behind his father, King Charles, and his older brother, Prince William.
During the trial, Harry testified for seven hours, making him the first senior royal to take the witness stand in centuries in a court of law.
Harry and Meghan still have two more lawsuits pending against British tabloids for allegedly violating their privacy rights.

BELOW DECK CHARTER GUESTS ARRESTED Allegedly Filled Prescriptions Using Cast Members' Names
A couple who appeared on the reality show "Below Deck" are now in some serious legal trouble ... after prosecutors claim they engaged in a prescription drug scheme involving using the names of cast members from the show.
Dr. Francis Martinis and his wife, Jessica -- who appeared as chartered guests on an episode of "Below Deck Mediterranean" and "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" -- were indicted in a Long Island court on Thursday, accused of using the names of the Bravo show's cast members to fill out prescriptions for opioids throughout Suffolk County.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney, Francis and Jessica Martinis have been charged with 4 felony counts of criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance by a practitioner -- and 4 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Authorities say they were notified of the alleged scheme back in January ... after Jess allegedly attempted to fill a hand-written prescription for oxycodone at a Long Island pharmacy -- though her name was not the one on the prescription.
Prosecutors say instead of filling the prescription, the pharmacist called the police ... which then kickstarted an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
And now authorities say they discovered the Martinis electronically transmitted multiple prescriptions to pharmacies across Long Island ... under the name of different former BD cast members despite none living in the vicinity.
It's claimed that Jessica would pick up the prescriptions and pay for them with cash.
The DA blasted the couple ... saying in a statement that their alleged actions violated the oath they took at the start of their careers and the law.
The judge set bail conditions, and the couple is due back in court in January.

TIFFANY HADDISH CHARGED IN L.A. DUI

Tiffany Haddish has been charged in her latest DUI arrest ... after she got busted for drinking and driving following a night out in Beverly Hills last month.
The actress' case was under review by the L.A. District Attorney's Office and they've decided to charge her with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a .08% BAC.
11/23/23
TMZ broke the story ... the actress was found slumped at the wheel in Beverly Hills -- blocking the road with her car.
She was booked for DUI and improper stopping on a roadway -- but less than 24 hours later, was back onstage performing down in Long Beach -- not resisting a quick quip about her arrest.
However, Tiffany quickly changed her tune ... getting serious about the arrest -- especially as she already has a DUI case in Georgia stemming from Jan 2022.
In fact, in light of her Cali arrest, Georgia prosecutors are pushing for stricter restrictions on her -- wanting to modify the bond conditions from her open DUI case there to restrict her from using booze and drugs completely.
BTW ... if Tiffany is convicted of both offenses, both California and Georgia have laws that require jail time for a second offense -- in CA, the minimum is 4 days, in GA it's 3 days.
Tiffany's since told ET she needs to "get help" to "learn balance and boundaries" -- adding, "this will never happen again."
So far, so good ... as Tiffany recently rang in her 44th birthday, AKA, her "next chapter in life," without a lick of booze in sight.

Jonathan Majors Coretta Scott King, Obama Rant Audio ... Yells, 'I'M A GREAT MAN!!!'
Jonathan Majors' now-infamous Coretta Scott King/Michelle Obama rant -- which was described in court -- can be heard for the first time in audio, and it's ... interesting.
Audio of Majors berating his ex-girlfriend/accuser Grace Jabbari about how she needed to be more like King and Obama in their own relationship has been released in the massive evidence dump that came out Wednesday ... and like we said, this is one for the ages.
We already knew the general context of what Majors had yelled at Jabbari during this old incident -- which was allowed in as evidence from the prosecution -- but hearing it is something else altogether ... because it can be digested in full, tone included.
We'll let you take a listen, but from what we can make out ... Majors is angry at Jabbari for having gone out with her friends/partying -- something he seems to think can potentially make him look bad considering his high-profile image and his status as an A-list star.
He tells her that she needs to take into account that they're a "unit" ... and think about how Coretta and Michelle stood/stand by their men and how they carried themselves.
Another notable line that Majors drops here ... that he's a "great man," which he repeats.
Jabbari can be heard sniffling during the lecture, and she apologizes throughout as well. Of course, she was also apparently secretly recording Majors.
The revelation of this argument certainly didn't do Majors any favors last week, but now that it's out there in the public for all to hear ... hard to say if it helps or hurts him, big picture.
Majors' trial continues this week, and now ... the defense is presenting its case.

Jonathan Majors Surveillance Vid Shows Car Scuffle ... GF Chasing After Him

Surveillance video of the night in question surrounding the Jonathan Majors' trial has been released -- showing a scuffle between the actor and his then-girlfriend -- and a foot chase shortly thereafter.
The judge has kept a tight lid on all the evidence being presented in court over these past couple weeks, but, on Wednesday ... he popped the lid open and released it all to the media, including key footage the prosecution has been showing to the jury to prove their case.
One video, in particular, is critical ... it shows the aftermath of the alleged incident between Majors and his accuser, Grace Jabbari, after she claims he attacked her in a vehicle.
You can see Majors and Jabbari outside of an SUV ... which is stopped at a light in the middle of a relatively empty NYC street. Majors and Jabbari can be seen milling outside of the car, seemingly talking, and eventually ... Majors appears to wrap her up in his arms.
From there, you see what prosecutors describe as, "using physical force once again, Majors picked her up with both hands and shoved her repeatedly into the Escalade." However, Majors isn't successful in doing so. Soon, he lets go and bolts away from her ... and Jabbari quickly goes after him.
The pursuit goes on for quite some time, it seems, and they go for at least a couple blocks before Majors outruns Jabbari. After he loses her, she stumbles across a group of strangers on the street ... and they start to talk, with the small crew consoling her.
Majors eventually makes his way back and passes the group, with Jabbari spotting him, and he strolls by them -- seemingly telling her to stay back and to stay away. She attempts to talk to him, but he continues on down the street ... Jabbari follows him yet again.
Eventually, the two separate ... Majors goes and stays the night at a hotel and Jabbari goes out to a nightclub.
As we reported ... Majors called 911 the next morning for a suspected overdose/suicide when he found Jabbari passed out in his closet. There's video that shows him making this call as well, which he did from the lobby of his building. Once cops show up, he escorts them upstairs to his unit. The video also shows him leading them right to her, and she's completely passed out in his closet.
Eventually, we see Jabbari come down with the officers ... and she's standing upright. Photos that depict Jabbari's alleged injuries were also released as part of the evidence dump.
Remember, this is all stuff that's been played/shown in court already, but which is just now becoming publicly available. In the meantime, Majors' trial continues Wednesday and the prosecution has rested its case ... now, the defense is starting to trot out their witnesses.

Jonathan Majors 911 Call For GF ... 'Attempted Suicide, I Think'
Jonathan Majors thought Grace Jabbari tried taking her own life after their messy breakup, telling 911 dispatchers she insinuated as much before finding her unconscious on the floor of his apartment.
TMZ obtained the 911 call Jonathan made the day he was arrested ... and he says he's calling for an "attempted suicide."
Jonathan tells the dispatcher Grace said she might harm herself after they broke up, and he spent the night in a hotel. JM claims Grace had locked him out of his penthouse apartment in Manhattan.
In the audio, Jonathan says the building's doorman had to help him get inside, where he found Grace passed out in his closet. He says she's naked from the waist down, appears to be unconscious and has a cut behind her ear.
Jonathan stays on the line until first responders arrive ... and he seems concerned about Grace. The dispatcher asks him if she had fallen, but he's unsure.
As we reported ... two NYPD officers also responded, and they testified that when Grace woke up, she asked how she'd gotten there and asked if Majors was there or if he was outside, seemingly worried.
The cops also testified Grace asked them why her ear had hurt -- remember, the cut ear is one of the reasons Jonathan is being prosecuted -- but they conceded on the stand they did not ask her if she'd fallen.
Remember ... Grace told cops Jonathan had attacked her following a dispute the night before, and he ended up being arrested.
The 911 call is part of an evidence dump from Majors' assault trial ... which continues today. The prosecution has already rested its case, with Majors' defense starting to call their witnesses to the stand.

Jonathan Majors called 911 on behalf of his accuser, Grace Jabbari, the day he was arrested -- and now, we know what he officially reported it as ... a possible overdose, suicide.
Two NYPD officers who responded to the scene back in March took the stand Tuesday in Majors' assault trial, and their testimony was interesting ... mostly 'cause they gave the blow-by-blow (or as much as they could recall, anyway) from the moment they arrived.

One of the cops testified the initial call that came in -- made by Majors himself -- was to report someone who'd attempted to take their own life via overdose.
The cops also noted when they got there, Jabbari was on the floor in Majors' apartment ... and that when she finally awoke, the first thing she asked was how she'd gotten there. They also testified that Jabbari then asked if Majors was there or if he was outside, seemingly worried.
Last thing ... the officers said they noted a button on Majors' coat appeared to be missing, and they also said they noticed a small amount of blood on Majors' comforter on his bed when they arrived -- but didn't see any other signs of blood.
As for what Jabbari did say about injuries ... they testified she said Majors had hit her several times in the head, and that he'd grabbed her by the throat.
Another interesting tidbit ... the officers testified that Jabbari asked them why her ear had hurt -- remember, a cut ear is one of the reasons Majors is being prosecuted -- but, on the stand, the officers conceded they did not ask her if she'd fallen.
One of the officers also admitted on the stand he'd helped Jabbari fill out her DV report ... completing page 1 for her, and letting her do page 2 on her own. On cross, the officers said they didn't recall a lot of specific details that Majors' defense team asked ... including whether Jabbari had told them she'd taken 2 sleeping pills earlier in the night.
Court's in recess now, but testimony will resume this afternoon.

Jonathan Majors Assault Trial Driver Claims Grace Hit Actor In SUV
Big update from the Jonathan Majors assault trial ... the driver of the SUV in which Majors and Grace Jabbari were fighting, took the stand and testified he thought she hit the movie star.
Jonathan is accused of roughing up Grace in the back of their ride while trying to get his phone back after she believed she'd caught him texting another woman -- but the driver's testimony paints Grace as the aggressor, not the other way around.
Taking the stand Monday and speaking through an interpreter, the driver testified he kept his eyes on the road as Jonathan and Grace fought in the back of his Escalade back in March, telling the jury he "had a feeling the girl had hit the boy ... because of the way that she was fighting, and the sounds produced."
The driver also testified Grace demanded to see Jonathan's phone, saying ... "The girl became very angry." The driver also said, "He was not doing anything, she was doing it," and that Jonathan was "trying to get rid" of Grace.
It's an interesting twist in the trial ... last week, text messages between Jonathan and Grace were read aloud in court, including a September 2022 exchange where they seemingly referred to some sort of altercation in London.
In the text messages, Jonathan wrote ... "They will ask you questions, and as I don't think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something."
Jabbari then replied, "I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I'm going to give it one more day, but I can't sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That's all: why would I tell them what really happened when it's clear I want to be with you."
The car service driver also testified Jonathan and Grace both left his car at one point, arguing outside on a street corner in Manhattan ... and said Majors was "pushing her back into the car to get rid of her."
Jonathan's legal team asked the driver if he found any blood in the car, and he testified he didn't.

Alabama Riverfront Brawl Chair-Wielding Man Gets No Jail Time
The man wielding a folding chair in the infamous Alabama Riverfront brawl won't spend any time behind bars in his case ... if he completes his community service, that is.
According to court records, Reggie Bernard Ray entered a conditional guilty plea Monday, and in exchange, was hit with 50 hours of community service and a 90-day suspended sentence.
That means if he successfully completes all his community service and keeps his nose clean, he won't do any time in jail.
You'll recall, Ray was seen in the viral clip earlier this year, coming to the defense of another Black man -- the co-captain of a nearby riverboat -- during a dispute with white men whose boat was blocking the riverboat from docking.
It quickly grew into a huge brawl, with Ray making a memorable appearance by swinging the chair at one of the white men ... the incident has since spawned multiple memes and even some merch.
As we reported, Ray jumped on the bandwagon and began selling some merch of his own ... apparently trying to cash in on the famous incident.

Nia Long Man Claiming to Be Her Son Arrested Assault with Tent Pole

Being Nia Long's son is NOT a get-out-of-jail-free card, especially when you're NOT really her son at all -- as a guy found out after he allegedly smacked a stranger with a tent pole.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Tamir Rasool Morris was arrested last weekend in Santa Monica where cops say he assaulted a random person in a park. When officers questioned him, Morris told them his name was Massai Dorsey II ... which is the name of Nia's actual 23-year-old son.
What's creepy for Nia and her fam is this guy's clearly done some research ... because he also gave officers Massai's correct birth day and month, but finally slipped up with the year. We're told he was off by 2 years.
Of course, his web of lies fell apart when he was booked and fingerprinted ... which revealed his real name.
According to our sources, cops suspect Morris pulled Massai's info from social media, but Santa Monica PD wants to make it clear ... the real Massai was not at all involved in the incident, and his name was given without his knowledge.
As for Morris, he's currently sitting in jail in lieu of $30,000 bail, and was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and false impersonation.

Jonathan Majors Just Me, Myself & I After Trial Text Revelation
Jonathan Majors is gathering his thoughts after what you could argue was a rough week for him in court -- ending with some startling texts he once sent being read in front of the jury.
The embattled actor was spotted on a solo stroll through Manhattan Saturday, where he seemed to be on a coffee run -- as he ended up grabbing two and balanced them on his way back to wherever he was going.
Considering the eventful week, these pics are telling for many reasons -- for one, he's all by his lonesome ... this after his GF, Meagan Good, has come to every single court date of his -- including showing up the past several days during the trial -- and been right by his side.
No sign of her here though ... although, he could've been grabbing Joe for the two of them.
In any case, JM kept his little outing here stylish ... uniquely his style, that is. The dude was wearing a khaki peacoat -- which he eventually draped off his shoulders -- a white tee, black pants, shades and a matching golf cap. Like all his public appearances, he's dressed up.
Now, as for what might be on his mind ... well, a lot of things, we're sure -- including what's gonna happen to his career, regardless of what the jury ultimately decides in their verdict.
Fact is ... there's been some ugly revelations about him throughout the trial -- much of which came from Grace Jabbari's testimony about their relationship ... including claims he'd been verbally abusive to her in the past. Remember the whole Coretta Scott King thing?
Even more damning than just that, though, is what came to light Friday ... when text messages Majors had sent Jabbari back in September 2022 were read aloud in court.
They included exchanges between Majors and Jabbari, where the two of the appeared to refer to some sort of altercation in London ... with Majors writing at the time, "They will ask you questions, and as I don't think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something."
Jabbari replied, "I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I'm going to give it one more day, but I can't sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That's all: why would I tell them what really happened when it's clear I want to be with you."
That coupled with the testimony she gave about other times he'd allegedly shown aggression around her have not landed well with the public (just check Twitter/X). Because so much of all these old alleged incidents have been allowed to be aired out in court, it feels like it almost doesn't matter if he's found guilty or not -- from our POV, anyway.
Of course, we'll see what the jury has to say about it all in the end -- and more importantly, what Disney wants to do in the aftermath. They're far and away his biggest employer right now, and there's a lot of money and work on the line depending on how things shake out.
Majors' trial continues next week, and we're expecting to hear from other key witnesses -- including the car service driver, who could presumably speak on the alleged incident in his vehicle and answer once and for all ... did the guy brutalize her back there or not???
In the meantime ... it's just Majors out here in these streets, patiently waiting.

Ethan Crumbley -- the teenager who killed 4 students during a shooting rampage at a Michigan high school -- has just been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The 17-year-old was given his sentence Friday ... you'll recall, Crumbley killed 4 of his classmates and wounded 7 other people when he opened fire at Oxford High School, in the Detriot suburb of Oxford Township, MI.
Crumbley told the court he was "a really bad person" before he was handed his hefty sentence ... adding he's been trying to do better in his life but admits, "I have done terrible things that no one should ever do."
Victim Kylie Ossege, who was shot by Crumbley during the rampage, broke down in tears Friday while detailing the horrific incident ... which included the feeling of warm blood soaking into the carpet.
You'll recall, Crumbley pleaded guilty last year to 4 counts of first-degree murder, a count of terrorism causing death, and 19 other charges related to the deadly massacre.
Crumbley's parents, Jennifer and James, were also taken into custody, being charged with 4 counts of involuntary manslaughter -- one for each student who was killed. Their trial will begin next month.
Prosecutors said Jennifer and James knew about their son's mental health issues but still bought him the gun he used in the attack.
A teacher at Oxford High claimed to see Crumbley looking up information online about ammunition ... but when it was brought to Jennifer's attention, prosecutors say she didn't appear to be alarmed. The following day, Crumbley opened fire at his school.

Sam Haskell Jr. Shirtless in Court Accused of Killing Wife and His In-Laws
Sam Haskell Jr. -- the man accused of murdering his wife and in-laws -- showed up to court for his latest arraignment without a shirt ... something cops say is due to his suicidal thoughts.
Haskell Jr. was brought into the Los Angeles courtroom Thursday shirtless as he was escorted inside.
The officer inside the courtroom said Haskell Jr. didn't have a shirt on due to suicidal ideations ... explaining he initially was just wearing a velcro vest that had no material he could choke or injure himself with, but the vest kept falling down, so it was taken off.
As we reported, Haskell Jr. was hit with 3 counts of murder last month in connection with the death of his 37-year-old wife, Mei, and her parents ... 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang.

Haskell Jr. is due in court again next month.

Jonathan Majors Referenced Violence, Threatened Suicide ... Texts to Accuser Read in Court
Jonathan Majors' text messages to his accuser, Grace Jabbari, are being read out loud in court Friday -- and, in them, he references some physical violence during a London incident that happened 6 months prior to the one for which he's standing trial.
In the September 2022 texts, Majors says, "They will ask you questions, and as I don't think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something."
Jabbari replied, "I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I'm going to give it one more day, but I can't sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That's all: why would I tell them what really happened when it's clear I want to be with you."
During her 4th day on the stand, Grace started to read the texts out loud in court, but broke down in tears ... and Assistant D.A. Kelli Galaway had to continue reading the exchange.
The messages apparently refer to an incident that happened while the couple was in London. The judge has already ruled the details of what happened are not admissible in this trial, but did allow their text messages about the incident because they seem to describe "conduct that is inextricably interwoven with the charged acts."
Remember, Majors is on trial for an alleged NYC attack on Jabbari in March 2023 ... when the then-couple had a heated exchange in the back of a taxi, and she claims he struck her as they fought for his phone.
The September 2022 texts also include a portion where Majors threatens to take his own life. He wrote, "Last night I considered killing myself versus coming home. I need love too. Or maybe I'm such a monster and horrible man, I don't deserve it. And I should just kill myself. In this way, my existence is miserable. I want to die."
Jabbari eventually told Majors in text she would not go to a doctor and said she understood his fear about an investigation. When he continued threatening suicide, saying, "I will probably kill myself, it's not really contemplating anymore" ... she told him she would have to "tell someone" if he continued saying such things.
While the texts were read in court, Majors reportedly had his head down ... and when they finished reading them, he glanced at the jury.
Story developing ...
