Overview
- Kim Mathers did not appear for a scheduled sentencing and related hearings on Wednesday, June 24, and a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.
- Macomb County prosecutors moved to forfeit her $10,000 pretrial bond after the missed court date, signaling they will seek enforcement if she is not located or does not surrender.
- Mathers pleaded no contest on May 11 to charges tied to a February hit-and-run in which police say she pushed a parked pickup roughly 50 feet, drove home and crashed into her garage while her son and friends were in the vehicle.
- She was arrested on May 14 on a separate OWI-third charge after body-camera footage showed slurred speech and Breathalyzer tests recorded blood-alcohol readings of about .204, .176 and .181, and a judge had ordered use of an alcohol-monitoring device plus counseling.
- If she is found or turns herself in, prosecutors say she could face the felony OWI case, new penalties for failing to appear and an evidentiary hearing on whether bond conditions or the earlier no-contest plea should be revisited.
