“For right now, it’s ordered by the judge that she complete her sentence in jail.”
Mathers, 28, was sentenced on Jan. 21 to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to charges of possessing 25 grams or less of cocaine and failing to give adequate space to an emergency vehicle. The charges stemmed from a June traffic stop in St. Clair Shores
