A jury has convicted Matthew David Hughes, 32, of stalking Eminem after a second incident at the rapper’s Clinton Township home. Hughes was arrested in August following his reappearance on Eminem’s property, three days after police reported a previous sighting.
According to The Detroit Free Press, Eminem testified Wednesday morning in the trial, which began Tuesday before Macomb County Circuit Judge Diane Druzinski. Hughes was apprehended at a Walmart. Court documents listed his address as a motel on Gratiot Avenue in Clinton Township.
Following a brief half-hour deliberation on Wednesday afternoon, the jury delivered guilty verdicts on both counts against Hughes. His sentencing is scheduled for June 17. Online jail records indicate Hughes was booked into the Macomb County Jail on August 30.
During a preliminary examination on December 19, the court ordered Hughes to have no contact with Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Bruce Mathers. Hughes remained in custody throughout the trial, having not posted the $500,000 bond set by the judge.
