A man who brazenly broke into Eminem’s Clinton Township home not once, but twice, has finally been brought to justice. After a chilling second invasion, a jury found him guilty on Wednesday of first-degree home invasion and aggravated stalking—marking the end of a terrifying chapter for the rap icon, and a moment where the law caught up with obsession.
A man charged a second time with invading Eminem’s Clinton Township home was found guilty Wednesday on counts of first-degree home invasion and aggravated stalking.
Matthew David Hughes, 32, was arrested last August, three days after Clinton Township Police say he was seen on the rapper’s property. He was detained at a Walmart. Court records listed his address as a Gratiot Avenue motel in Clinton Township.
Unlike a similar incident in 2020 — when Hughes broke into the house and awakened Eminem — he did not confront the rapper during the August invasion.
Eminem testified Wednesday morning in the jury trial, which started Tuesday before Macomb County Circuit Judge Diane Druzinski. After a half-hour of deliberation Wednesday afternoon, the jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts.
