Mac Miller's DUI Case Will Officially Be Dismissed

'TMZ' reports that the L.A. City Attorney will soon file the paperwork necessary to have Miller's DUI case dropped. The charges stem from a May incident in which Mac crashed his car into a utility pole, and fled the scene.

TMZ has learned that the charges Mac Miller was facing from his DUI case will be dropped.

Mac was formally charged last month with two counts of DUI after he crashed his G-Wagon into a utility pole in the San Fernando Valley back in May, and fled the scene with two passengers. After authorities ran his license plate, which led them to Miller’s home address, he reportedly confessed to driving while intoxicated, as well as attempting to leave the site where the incident took place.

Mac was expected to face arraignment on Tuesday, however, the Los Angeles City Attorney plans to file the appropriate paperwork that will officially drop the charges. 

Mac died last Friday at the age of 26. "Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26," his family said in a statement to Complex. "He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time." 

Since his tragic death, musicians, celebrities, and fans have expressed their sorrow and grief at the news of Miller's passing. 

A vigil for Mac will take place on Tuesday, September 11 at Pittsburgh's Blue Slide Park—the inspiration behind his debut studio album of the same name—inside Frick Park.
