WSOC-TV in Charlotte,
NC, is reporting that suspended NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield was indicted today
for possession of stolen property, in the aftermath of a Nov. 1 raid on his
Catawba, NC home.
Catawba County Sheriff's deputies executed a
search warrant at Mayfield's home last Nov. 1, after receiving a tip that there
was stolen property inside the residence. Once inside, deputies discovered
approximately 1.5 grams of methamphetamine and a number of items believed to be
stolen. He was charged only with possession of methamphetamine at the time, pending
verification that the items were indeed stolen. Sheriff's deputies also
confiscated approximately 50 guns.
Mayfield’s attorney said at the time that his
client was unaware of more than $100,000 in stolen property found in an
out-building and storage trailers on his property, or the drugs discovered in a
safe in his home. Authorities have continued to investigate the case, saying
additional charges were likely. Today, Mayfield was indicted on three counts of possession of stolen goods and one
count of obtaining property by false pretenses. He remains free on $3,000
bond.
Mayfield was suspended
indefinitely from NASCAR after failing a random drug test in May of 2009, but
has steadfastly maintained his innocence, claiming his test results were
falsely skewed by his use of Adderal prescribed for Attention Deficit Disorder
and the over-the-counter allergy medication Claritin D. He has accused NASCAR
of altering the results of his drug test and failure to follow proper drug
screening protocol.
If we want Mayfield to go away so bad how bout we just quit reporting about him!!
ReplyDeleteWe will continue to report on this story, Tony, because it is news in the world of NASCAR. If you want Mayfield to "go away," you can decide whether to read the stories or not.
DeleteAmen!
Deletei am sad to hear about his demise i used to like him. so sad it doesnt even look like him anymore
DeleteVery sad.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. If this isn't his "Hitting rock bottom",and getting that much needed wake up call. I don't know if there's much hope for this guy.
ReplyDeleteLori from Colorado
Ditto the sad. I hope he finds his way out.
ReplyDeleteThey always have to blame someone else.. it's the police.. its the Nascar people.. DUDE- you need HELP!!!! Take what they give you and get clean and live HAPPY!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave for reporting the nascar news and I do
ReplyDeleteagree rock bottomed out, maybe time for rehab
I'm sorry but I have a big ol pull barn on my property and I would know if I had 100k worth of product that's not mine. Also, would know if I had "drugs" in the house.
ReplyDeleteThe one I feel bad for is his wife Shana. Hopefully she isn't being brought down by him.
ReplyDeletedon't drop the soap @_badream
ReplyDeletelove your updates i pass it on to my hubby /and we both love racing @ your news
ReplyDeleteRay Evernham said it best in an appearence on Speedway. He said Mayfield soesn't "break up" well. It has been documented that Mayfield did not part with Penske on good terms. Upon getting fired from Evernham Motor Sports, he felt compelled to "out" Ray for dating who has now become his wife. And when Nascar suspended him for violating the substance abuse policy he has ranted about conspiracy ranging from a black flag called for from Brian France in a race that in reality he wrecked out of to Nascar falsifying his drug test results. Let's not forget he also felt compelled to comment on Brian France's divorce.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry his life has gone like this. So sad.
ReplyDeleteHope Jeremy gets the help he needs so he can have a chance at racing at the top level again some day. He was always enteraining to watch .
ReplyDeletePlease just go away Jeremy...you are going to jail...see ya
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the next news about Jeremy will be about where the body was found.
ReplyDeleteI do believe Jeremy would be suited better with a name like mine.... Just sayin
ReplyDeleteIt is such a shame, he really had talent. Typical junkie in denial - if he denies it often and loud enough, why, he didn't do it. Seems logical to a junkie, anyways.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste just think he made the chase once lots of potential to throw it all the away.
ReplyDeleteSo sad right now he's the only real blemish on NASCAR. I hope he can change but NASCAR don't need him back.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...his lawyer says he didn't know it was there. He is now claiming he has all the receipts to prove it is his and that Catawba County and NASCAR (his words, not mine) have conspired to do this to him.
ReplyDelete*sigh*

I knew Jeremy when we lived in Owensboro, hard to believe that a guy who worked so hard to get to where he wanted would end up like this. So, so, sad
ReplyDeletehe's on it. unbelieveable. career gone?
ReplyDeleteThis really is a shame. I never had anything but respect for Jeremy, even to the point where at one point I felt like he got railroaded by Evernham. I believe than even if he got clean in a year, he truly has burned so many bridges in NASCAR that neither he nor any team associated with him will ever race in one of the national touring divisions.
