Police: Mayfield Was At Scene Of Theft

The latest chapter in the increasingly sad saga of Jeremy Mayfield became public today when WSOC-TV in Charlotte, NC reported the latest in a series of search warrants issued for Mayfield’s Catawba, NC home and grounds. The latest warrant includes allegations of additional stolen property found at Mayfield’s home, and evidence that Mayfield himself was personally involved in the thefts.

Sherriff’s deputies say that in February of this year, they discovered the former NASCAR driver and a companion at 3 AM, sitting in a truck parked behind a Hudson, NC, furniture store. Mayfield explained that they had purchased the truck in Tennessee earlier that evening, and had stopped behind the store to rest. Later that morning, the furniture store reported that several trailers filled with approximately 70 pieces of furniture had been stolen. Sheriff’s deputies eventually obtained a search warrant and found the stolen furniture in a trailer next to Mayfield's home.

Last month, authorities discovered approximately 1.5 ounces of methamphetamine in a locked safe inside Mayfield’s home, along with more than 50 guns -- at least some of them allegedly stolen -- and more than $100,000 in property taken from various local businesses including Fitz Racing and Red Bull Racing.

Mayfield currently faces a felony charge for possession of methamphetamine. Officials have not yet charged him in relation to any of the stolen property. His attorney said Mayfield has no knowledge of any stolen items or illegal drugs on his property. Hudson police chief Andy Day told WSOC, "The investigation is not over. We are still looking for more property. No charges have been filed (and) we anticipate this investigation will continue for some time."

  7. I'm confused... Were the guns stolen? I hear different things about the guns.

    Now I'm not sure how we're going to dispute the stolen property here. Apparently some was in his home.

    To me it sounds like he was doing what he needed to in order to get his next fix. Sad.

    Are you kidding me? This is not Nascars fault. Seriously Jeremy has so many issues and needs help yes. But if this was joe blow he would be in jail. Just because someone is famous should not mean they are above the law.

    I too wonder what is going on with his wife? I wonder if she is as supportive. Sucked to be her.

    Pretty sad. Assholes like Kyle and Kurt are still racing. Mayfield used to actually be a good guy. Meth will flat out screw up your life though. Sure hope he gets help someday soon
