Kim Mathers was hospitalized Saturday after dispatchers received a report that she was unconscious or fainting. She was rolled away from a Chesterfield Township home on a gurney and taken toward an ambulance, then transported to McLaren Macomb Hospital in Mount Clemens.
Saturday Call From Chesterfield Township
Dispatchers got the report around 8 p.m. Saturday, and footage later showed first responders tending to Scott before she was moved from the home. TMZ reported the episode on Tuesday after receiving photos and video of the response.
The report matters because Scott was already dealing with two separate drunk driving cases. In June, she failed to appear in a New Baltimore courtroom for sentencing and a hearing tied to those matters, including a case that carried up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
June Court Cases
On May 11, Scott pleaded no contest to operating while impaired and failure to stop after a collision in one case tied to a February incident. Those offenses are punishable by no more than 93 days in jail, a far lower exposure than the separate felony charge of operating while intoxicated, third offense.
That second case came from an incident two days after the plea, and the body cam footage from it includes an officer telling her, "You're slurring really bad." The sequence left Scott facing both a misdemeanor-level sentencing issue and a separate felony track at the same time.
Scott and Prior Cases
Scott's legal record stretches back to 2003, when she was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance of less than 25 grams and driving with a license suspended, revoked, or denied. In 2004, she violated probation on the drug charges and received 30 days in jail and 90 days in a drug rehabilitation program.
In October 2015, she drove a Cadillac Escalade into a utility pole and then into a ditch at 23 Mile and Card roads in Macomb Township. She later said that crash was a suicide attempt and said she had drunk a fifth of Malibu rum before it.
Tuesday's report leaves the immediate medical question centered on why she became unconscious or fainting at home, while the legal picture remains active in the background. For now, the story is not about old headlines catching up; it is about a 51-year-old woman being taken from home to hospital while those June cases were still hanging over her.
