Overview
- Chesterfield Township police said Mathers, 51, was taken into custody Wednesday night after allegedly striking a parked car on Lord Street, and officers reported she failed a Breathalyzer test.
- She was booked into the Macomb County Jail and later released, and police said they are submitting a warrant request to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office for charging decisions.
- The new arrest came two days after she pleaded no contest in 42-2 District Court to operating while impaired and failing to report an accident in a separate February case, with sentencing set for June 17.
- In the February incident, investigators say she hit a parked Dodge Ram with a Range Rover, pushed it about 50 feet, then drove home and crashed into her garage, and police documented breath-test evidence at the scene.
- Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido has stressed the public-safety risks of impaired driving, and it remains unclear whether the latest arrest will affect her upcoming sentencing.
