Another side of the car read "it's over" in bold, red letters.

Eminem's ex-wife's drunken driving case documents unsealed
Kim Mathers crashed last fall in Macomb Township
Less than a week after Local 4 aired a story about Kim Mathers’ drunken driving case being sealed in a Shelby Township court, the file has been reopened.
The sealing frustrated many in the community who thought the ex-wife of Detroit rapper Eminem was getting special treatment.
View here: Document with portion of Kim Mathers' drunken driving case
The new documents reveal her attorney is attempting not only to get evidence thrown out, but also to have the entire case dismissed.
Last October, Mathers allegedly drove drunk and crashed, flipping the Cadillac Escalade she was driving upside down. According to police reports, she told first responders she crashed intentionally.
In dashcam recordings of Macomb County Sheriff deputies, you can hear one say, "You know who it is? Kim Mathers. She's hammered."
That same deputy asked Mathers, "How much did you have to drink today Kim?” She responded, “Like a fifth."
Police reports show she admitted to drinking a fifth of Malibu Rum.

Man arrested after police suspect he tried to contaminate food
The FBI has arrested a man who is suspected of attempting to contaminate food products in several Ann Arbor area grocery stores.
The man was observed sprinkling "a liquid" on food carts, according to the FBI. The FBI didn't immediately specify which store the man was seen in.
The FBI announced Tuesday the man was taken into custody with help from the Ann Arbor Police Department. Federal investigators said he admitted to using a potentially hazardous material to contaminate food in several Ann Arbor area grocery stores.
They say an investigation has led them believe the man sprayed a liquid mixture of hand cleaner, water and Tomcat mice poison on produce in the following three grocery stores:
- Whole Foods Market -- 990 W. Eisenhower Parkway -- Ann Arbor, MI
- Meijer -- 3145 Ann Arbor – Saline Road -- Ann Arbor, MI
- Plum Market -- 375 North Maple Road -- Ann Arbor, MI
"The suspect stated that he sprayed produce in these stores within the last two weeks," the FBI said in a statement. "The suspect visited several other grocery stores in the Ann Arbor area in the last few months and the investigation is ongoing in order to determine if any other stores were victimized by the suspect. Investigators are currently coordinating with State of Michigan and Washtenaw County Health Officials to determine the extent of any contamination and the threat to the public."
