Former child star Dee Jay Daniels–who played little Michael Hughley on “The Hughleys”–was recently arrested for marijuana possession, premeditated murder, and gang activity charges in connection with a fatal stabbing.

According to E! News, the 23-year-old, whose real name is Dorjan Lyndell Daniels, is one of three men accused of stabbing 26-year-old John Joseph outside a nightclub in Stockton, Calif., in August 2011.

At the time, Stockton police said the incident was sparked by a feud between rival Crips and Bloods gang members. Daniels is a suspected member of the Bloods gang.

Daniels–who in addition to the Hughleys was also featured on “Cold Case,” “Coach,” “ER,” “The Wayans Bros,” and “Family Matters,”–is currently being held in San Joaquin County jail with no bail.

If convicted, he could face life in prison.
