Police say they found cocaine in Mathers' purse and in the glove box of her Cadillac Escalade during a traffic stop on Interstate 94 on June 10.
Mathers' car was pulled over in a construction zone north of 12 Mile Road. Police say they stopped her because she failed to yield to cars in the center lane just before a construction barricade, according to the station's reports.
During a search of the car, police say they found two Ziploc bags in the car's glove compartment and another on Mathers. Tests later determined the substance inside the bags was cocaine, Local 4 reported.
Mathers will be sentenced on the charges in January.
She also faces unrelated charges for allegedly hosting a drug party at a local hotel in September.
Mathers divorced rap star Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, in 2001. They have a daughter, Hailie Jade. Kimberly Mathers also reportedly has another daughter from a relationship after her split from Eminem.
