Overview
- A bench warrant was issued after Kim Scott failed to appear for a scheduled DUI hearing, with bond set at $10,000 and outlets reporting she had not been arrested as of Wednesday afternoon.
- Scott was arrested and booked on a suspected DUI on May 14 in Mt. Clemens after officers say she struck another vehicle and was released after booking.
- Three days earlier, on May 11, Scott pleaded no contest to impaired driving and to failing to report a February crash that involved her son Parker and resulted in additional damage at her home.
- Bodycam footage and police reports show officers found bottles in her car and administered a Breathalyzer that law enforcement described as nearly three times the legal limit.
- Under Michigan law a failure-to-appear can bring separate misdemeanor charges, extra fines or possible jail time, and the warrant remains enforceable until Scott surrenders or is located, which could extend the legal and personal consequences for her and her family.
