Eminem's Former Wife Is Now A Fugitive
Kimberly Mathers Fails To Appear In Court
POSTED: 3:30 p.m. EST November 6, 2003
The former wife of Eminem is now a wanted woman.
Kim Mathers failed to appear for a preliminary hearing Thursday in Warren District Court to face possible charges in connection with a drug raid at a local hotel.
She is now a fugitive and two bench warrants have been issued for her arrest, Local 4 reported.
"Is Kimberly Ann Mathers in the courtroom?" Judge John Chmura said before issuing the bench warrants.
Mathers' attorney said he and her family have not seen or heard from her since last Thursday.
"Her family and her children are praying for her. We are really concerned," said Attorney Michael Smith.
There are two bench warrants out for Mathers since she didn't show up for a hearing Tuesday, according to Local 4.
Mathers, 28, faces charges for a Sept. 29 party held in her Warren hotel room, according to police.
Acting on a report of a disorderly person, Warren officers spotted Mathers talking on a cellular phone outside her room at the Candlewood Suites shortly before 3 a.m., according to the Macomb Daily.
Police told the paper they heard yelling and loud music coming from inside. When she opened the door, officers saw several people inside, "several" open bottles of alcohol and cigarette rolling papers, according to a police report.
Mathers apparently told police the room was in her name and that people were using marijuana and Ecstasy at the party, the police report states.
