Kim Mathers Arrested on Suspected DUI After Hitting Parked Car Near Detroit

The arrest could complicate a June 17 sentencing in a separate impaired-driving case.

Overview

  • Chesterfield Township police say Mathers, 51, hit a parked car Wednesday night on Lord Street and failed a breathalyzer, and no injuries were reported.
  • She was booked into the Macomb County Jail in Mt. Clemens and later released, and police say they are submitting a warrant request to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.
  • Mathers pleaded no contest on Monday to operating while impaired and failing to stop after a collision in a February case in 42nd District Court in New Baltimore.
  • Investigators in the February crash say she struck a parked Dodge Ram and pushed it about 50 feet, and bodycam video shows a breath test and bottles allegedly mixed with liquor.
  • Sentencing in the February case is set for June 17, and any new charges from the latest incident would be reviewed by prosecutors before a judge weighs potential penalties under Michigan misdemeanor law.
