Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim Mathers, pleaded no contest to operating while impaired and failing to stop after a collision
Mathers crashed into a parked pickup truck in Macomb County, Mich., in February, prosecutors said
Mathers and Eminem were married twice, first from 1999 to 2001 and again in 2006
Kim Mathers, the ex-wife of Eminem, pleaded no contest to charges that she drove a vehicle while impaired and then failed to stop after a crash.
The charges against Mathers, 51, stem from a February 16 incident when she crashed a Range Rover into a parked pickup truck, the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office said.
As a result of the crash, the pickup was pushed more than 50 feet, prosecutors said.
Mathers, who authorities said did not report the crash, was alleged to have been impaired at the time.
“Driving under the influence is not a lapse in judgment—it is a deliberate decision that puts every person on the road at risk," Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in a statement. "…Choosing to drive impaired is choosing to endanger others, and we will continue to hold those who make that choice fully accountable."
Mathers entered a plea of no contest, essentially a plea of guilty without actually admitting guilt, to operating while impaired and failure to stop after a collision, both misdemeanors.
