Kimberly Mathers To Stand Trial On Cocaine Charges

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

Kim Mathers will stand trial this month for possession of cocaine.

Police say they found cocaine both in her purse and in the glove box of her Cadillac Escalade during a traffic stop on Interstate 94 on June 10.

Mathers' car was pulled over in a construction zone north of 12 Mile Road. Police say they stopped her because she failed to yield to cars in the center lane just before a construction barricade.

During a search of the car, police say they found two Ziploc bags in the car's glove compartment and another in Mathers' purse. Tests later determined the bags contained cocaine.

The drug charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

Mathers divorced Marshall Bruce Mathers, aka Eminem, in 2001. They have a daughter, Hailie Jade.

Kimberly Mathers also has another daughter from a relationship after her split from Eminem.
