MACOMB TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The brother of rapper Eminem has been arrested and charged with drunken driving in Michigan.
Nathan Mathers was arrested early Wednesday in the Detroit suburb of Macomb Township.
The 23-year-old from Clinton Township is charged with operating a vehicle while impaired, second offense. He was released on personal bond and will be back in district court in Shelby Township on May 7.
Police say Mathers failed to pull over for an ambulance and later failed sobriety tests. They say his blood-alcohol level was 0.16 percent, twice the 0.08 percent legal limit.
A message seeking comment was left Thursday for defense attorney Cecil St. Pierre.
Nathan Mathers, who raps as Nathan Kane, is the brother of Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem.
