Overview
- Judge William Hackel III revoked Mathers' bond at a heated hearing on Oct. 7 and ordered her held in Macomb County Jail pending a probable cause conference on Oct. 14.
- Prosecutors told the court that Mathers checked into a court-ordered inpatient treatment program but left without permission and that her alcohol monitor showed multiple violations.
- Mathers previously turned herself in to 42-2 District Court in June after missing several hearings and in August prosecutors had asked the court to jail her for repeated bond breaches.
- Defense attorney Camilla Barkovic said a magistrate approved changes to Mathers' release that would allow her to leave treatment, a move Judge Hackel said only a circuit judge could authorize.
- The judge also noted a bench warrant should have been issued when she left treatment but was never executed, and reporting says she faces potential prison exposure across the three DUI/OWI cases.
