Kimberley Mathers fails to appear at hearings, Court issues bench warrants

Press Release

Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that Kimberley Anne Mathers, 51, of Chesterfield, failed to appear yesterday in the 42-2 District Court in New Baltimore for a Probable Cause Conference, an adjourned bond violation hearing, and sentencing.

The Probable Cause Conference was scheduled in connection with an Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) – Third Offense charge, for which Mathers was arraigned on May 28, 2026.

The bond violation hearing and sentencing arose from Mathers’ May 11, 2026, no-contest plea to Operating While Impaired (OWI). It is alleged that she violated the court’s bond conditions by being arrested for another Operating While Impaired offense just two days after entering her plea.

It is also alleged that she violated her SoberLink alcohol monitoring device four times since May 28, 2026. 

Judge William Hackel, III issued two bench warrants for her arrest. 

“We really need to think about public safety. When an individual repeatedly drives while intoxicated and then fails to appear for critical court proceedings, it calls into question whether existing measures are sufficient to protect the public and ensure compliance with the judicial process. My office will continue to seek appropriate action to safeguard the community and uphold the integrity of the court system,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All individuals who are accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
