The brother of famed rapper Eminem was arrested then released last week after being caught with a man who was charged with selling the drugs Ecstasy and marijuana.
Nathan Mathers, 18, of Clinton Township, was a passenger in a 2004 silver Grand Am from which a 17-year-old Macomb Township man sold drugs to an undercover police officer in the parking lot of the Speedway gas station at Hall Road and Groesbeck Highway in Clinton, Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.
The suspect is expected to be charged with two counts of delivery of drugs, two counts of conspiracy to deliver drugs and two counts of attempt to deliver drugs, Hackel said. All carry maximum penalties of seven years in prison if convicted, the sheriff said.
The alleged transaction occurred about 9 p.m., July 19, and Mathers was released about midnight. Officers from the County of Macomb Enforcement Team seized 11 suspected Ecstasy pills and a half ounce of marijuana from the 17-year-old man who was being held and expected to be charged, Hackel said. The total value of the drugs was several hundred dollars, he said.
