NEW BALTIMORE, Mich. – A Macomb County judge has now issued two bench warrants for the arrest of Kim Mathers after her failure to appear in court for three hearings stemming from two separate drunken driving cases.
A news release issued by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday also alleges that Mathers violated her SoberLink alcohol-monitoring device four times since May 28 — when she was arraigned for an OWI-third offense charge out of Chesterfield Township.
Mathers, the ex-wife of Detroit rapper Eminem, was scheduled to appear before 42-2 District Court Judge William Hackel III at 9 a.m. Wednesday for a probable cause conference in that case, as well as for an adjourned bond violation hearing and sentencing for a previous OWI arrest in February 2026 involving a hit-and-run crash.
She pleaded no contest to the two charges issued in the alleged hit-and-run only three days before her arraignment for the Chesterfield Township OWI, leading prosecutors to request the bond violation hearing for the previous case.
The judge also required Mathers to use an alcohol-monitoring device four times a day upon posting bond in that case.
Body camera footage from her May 2026 arrest showed Mathers slurring her words while attempting to complete several field sobriety tests after allegedly crashing into a parked vehicle.
“We really need to think about public safety. When an individual repeatedly drives while intoxicated and then fails to appear for critical court proceedings, it calls into question whether existing measures are sufficient to protect the public and ensure compliance with the judicial process,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido in the news release. “My office will continue to seek appropriate action to safeguard the community and uphold the integrity of the court system.”
Local 4 has reached out to Mathers’ attorney for comment about her potential whereabouts.
