Mayfield arrested

Sad to hear ... my husband and I really liked Jeremy when he first started racing in the Cup Series.
 
Good job Mayfield, you made the fans who stuck up for you when they thought you were getting screwed over by NASCAR look like fools.

I'm sure they will still look at his mugshot AGAIN and say he doesn't LOOK like a methhead.
 
What a bonehead. This tard made 33 million in NASCAR over less than twenty years.

I am one of the idiots that believed in this moron.
 
I have done my best not to make to many Mayfield jokes today. It is awful to see somebody waste their life.


Obviously he is done as driver, no telling how bad it is for his family. If he is a thief, then let justice have it's way. Still, I hope that he gets his head together one day for his own well being.


But to be honest I have seen very few beat drug addiction. I hope he isn't past a point of no return.
 
Deny,deny,deny.Guess he hasn't hit bottom yet.

UPDATE 3: Jeremy Mayfield's attorney says Mayfield had no knowledge of the stolen items nor the methamphetamine found on his property that lead to his arrest Tuesday. Mayfield attorney Daniel Marino issued a statement Tuesday night: "Last evening, the Catawba County Sheriff's Department conducted a search at the home of Jeremy Mayfield," the statement said. "Mr. Mayfield understands that the purpose of the search was to seize allegedly stolen property and that the investigators claim to have seized methamphetamine from his home. Mr. Mayfield has no knowledge of either stolen property or methamphetamine being present on his property and denies the accusation that he was in possession of methamphetamine or any other illegal drug and he denies any suggestion that he knowingly received or possessed stolen property." Marino also represents the former NASCAR driver in his lawsuit against NASCAR over his suspension for a May 2009 failed drug test. Marino's statement Tuesday indicated that Mayfield is cooperating with authorities. Mayfield's next court date on the drug charge is scheduled for Nov. 14. "This search was prompted by what the evidence will show were baseless allegations by an unreliable source," the statement said. "Mr. Mayfield and his attorneys are cooperating with the authorities and they look forward to this matter being resolved quickly. In the meantime, Mr. Mayfield asks that the public reserve its judgment on this matter."(Scene Daily)(11-3-2011)
 
Well I admit I spent the last 2 years saying he was innocent for nothing, I was wrong.

Going Green: The Sorrow From Being On Mayfield's Side

Jeremy Mayfield is innocent. This was what many people believed, myself included, after NASCAR suspended him over two years ago after testing positive for methamphetamines. I bought into his argument that an interaction between Claritin and the ADD prescription medication Adderall caused the test to result in failure. Not only that, but he doesn’t have the look of someone who uses hard drugs. You certainly wouldn’t expect his face to show up in the anti-drug programs run in elementary schools. Even after his second failed test later that year, Mayfield supporters still wanted to believe in him. Part of it was because of him turning the tables on NASCAR’s unpopular CEO Brian France by making claims that the NASCAR head was making an example of him. Things briefly looked good after Mayfields’ stepmother Lisa — who had previously testified against him claiming she had seen him use on at least 30 occasions — was arrested for trespassing on her stepson’s property. There were just enough facts and claims to make it seem like that maybe Mayfield was telling the truth, and he was a victim in this whole deal.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been wrong before, but boy, do I feel like an idiot on this one. There are quite a few fans out there who share the same feeling; many also feel a sense of betrayal. In the following hours after the news broke out, I went back and read and watched some of his quotes. It’s easy to know now, yet I wondered how in the world I ever believed him. He lied to his fans, and his reputation took an ever greater plunge. Now, the only people that still believe him are the same people who believe that the U.S. attacked the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Just in case you didn’t get around to the Internet or television yesterday, Mayfield was arrested Tuesday night on possession of methamphetamine. In addition, approximately $100,000 worth of stolen goods from a trucking company were found on his property. Mayfield and innocent will no longer be in the same sentence again. He has yet to comment, but his wife Shana, tweeted to some of her followers on Wednesday. Some of her responses regarding the situation included, “I’m as confused as u r,” “such a shady deal. Makes no sense,” and “…I am not in denial nor have I ever been.”

Darn, and I was hoping we might get a confession. Not that I am expecting one, but it’s the least he could do after lying to everyone and stabbing his supporters in the back. He could have just admitted to his drug use in 2009, apologized and moved on. If he had done that, he could still be racing today. For someone like Mayfield, who we all now know for sure has drug problems, it’s obviously easier said than done.

Undoubtedly, Mayfield is the biggest name in NASCAR to get suspended from their substance abuse policy. I don’t know what goes through the mind of a drug user, nor do I know any drug addicts personally, but denying any sort of usage seems to be a common theme. Just look at other sports such as the MLB and the steroid era in the late 90’s. Mark McGwire, whose record-breaking season in 1998 helped spark the steriod speculation, finally admitted to using just last year, 20 years after he first tried it. While his admission was way after the fact and was something everyone already knew, it was a step in the right direction. It made him look better than some of his colleagues who are still denying any wrongdoing.

Prior to Mayfield, the most notable suspension in NASCAR was Shane Hmiel, who ultimately got banned for life by the sanctioning body after failing his third drug test in 2006. To this day, he is the only driver to be expelled from the series for drug use. Hmiel became a feel good story a couple of years later when he returned to racing, competing in the USAC series, rehabiltated and sober. An unfortunate racing accident last fall nearly killed him and ended his comeback, but his reputation had been greatly repaired. He had moved on from his past and was back racing, a storyline all fans could pull for.

In all likelihood, Mayfield will continue to deny any drug use, and his new hobby, theft. With this most recent episode coming on his own property and not at a NASCAR facility though, he can no longer blame Brian France and cry conspiracy. Any doubts there may have been about NASCAR’s drug testing policy have been erased, and now we don’t want to hear anything more from Mayfield’s mouth unless it’s a confession or apology. That would go a long way, but why should we expect that? He is going to find a new excuse and expect people to believe it.

Jeremy, you lost a lot of your supporters yesterday. This doesn’t mean we still hope for the best. Swallow your pride, admit you have been lying for the last two years, but most importantly, admit you have a problem and get help. For 17 years you were part of the NASCAR community, and no one enjoys seeing your fall from the top. It is tragic, disappointing, and unfortunately appears to be only getting worse. If you have any respect for your fans, family, and most importantly yourself, you will do the right thing and stop running. You will quickly realize that more people will support you doing that than what you are doing now.

He's obviously going to jail (I guess I should be fair and say if found guilty). Hopefully when he gets out he can get his life back together without drugs. He will never be a Cup driver again but hopefully he can get a job and become a normal person again. I've had experience dealing with Meth addicts and they basically don't care about anything. If it gets to the point of stealing they are WAAAAYYYYYYYYYY gone. At that point NOTHING matters but the Meth. And they will do anything to get it.

Here in Phoenix they run public service announcements that talk about how bad Meth is and how quickly it can ruin someone's life. It's all true.

I'm not a preacher and I normally would keep my opinion to myself, but in this case I'd like to throw out my own public service announcement... If you know someone that uses Meth, please attempt to help them stop. They will not stop on their own.

Search Warrant

Arrest Report

Warrant: Source said Mayfield was stealing to support drug habit

CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. -- A confidential source told authorities that Jeremy Mayfield was stealing to support his drug habit.

A search warrant obtained by Eyewitness News says the source knew specific details about reported break-ins and thefts and said Mayfield was involved in it all and that all the stolen property would be found at his home.

On Monday, police seized hundreds of items -- mostly tools, metals and machinery -- worth $100,000.

They also said they found 1.5 grams of meth and a meth pipe.

The confidential source said he or she watched Mayfield purchase and consume meth “over 500 separate times,” saying Mayfield stole to support his drug habit.

On Thursday, Mayfield's lawyer denied the new allegations, saying: "Mr. Mayfield has no knowledge of either stolen property or methamphetamine being present on his property."

The attorney called the allegations "baseless" and the confidential source "unreliable."

Investigators had little reaction to the lawyer's claims.

"He has a job to do," said Capt. Joel Fish of the Catwaba Co. Sheriff's Office. "He's representing Mr. Mayfield."

Mayfield is still only charged with drug possession.

Deputies will likely go in front of a grand jury on Monday, hoping to add charges of possessing stolen property.

My bet is this "confidential source" is also a tweaker. Who else would be there to witness 500 incidences? How credible is another tweaker?
 
And if you saw the guy do it 500 times and didn't report it, then you can't all of a sudden now have a stroke of oh my gosh look at what he's doing, I better tell the cops.

Considering that they found the stolen bounty and meth I'd have to venture to guess that tweeker is somewhat credible.
 
I bet....

That Mayfield and a "smoking buddy" decided to steal a bunch of stuff. Then Mayfield decided to "cut" his buddy out.

Or somebody decided to get crafty and installed hidden cameras around his estate.
 
The cable channels are sure missing out. Except for teen-age kids and a tralior park, them there Mayfield's have all of the reality show qualities.

don't think cameras are allowed in prison.
 
A week after a raid at his home that deputies say turned up meth, 69 guns and $100,000 in stolen goods, Jeremy Mayfield has been indicted by a grand jury on drug charges. Mayfield, a former NASCAR driver, was indicted by the Catawba County grand jury on Monday for felony possession of methamphetamine. Deputies say they found 6 baggies of meth in his home during a search they did on Nov. 1 for stolen goods. Although they say they found stolen property in the home, Mayfield was not charged with possession of stolen property or any charges other than drugs. About $100,000 worth of stolen merchandise was found on Mayfield's property. Police are working now to figure out if Mayfield knew the items were stolen and he had something to do with it. The Sheriff's Office says there are 69 guns that have been logged and are still waiting to see if any are stolen. In addition to these potential theft charges, Mayfield is also facing tax problems. Catawba county tax officials say Mayfield owes more than $82,000 in back taxes on his four properties. Authorities say he is one step from foreclosure. No word when or if theft charges will come for Mayfield. Investigators say that will be up to the District Attorney. Mayfield is due in court on Nov. 14 at 9 a.m.(WBTV), see earlier information on Mayfield's arrest on my #41 team news page.(11-7-2011)

How does he not get charged for the stolen property? :confused: I can understand not being charged for anything gun related if they haven't verified them yet but the stolen property issue seems strange.

Whatever, I guess. I just hope that the guy can get the help that he needs and turn his life into something productive again. It's too bad that he couldn't have gotten himself straighten out when this all started, gone through the drug program and probably had been reinstated as other have. He had quite a few fans that still believed in him. Drugs must be powerful things that can allow you to pi$$ that kind of life away. :(

If he does beat his drug addiction and straightens his life out, he would be the perfect canidate for any "Just Say NO to DRUGS Program" to go to Schools and teach the kids what drugs can do to your life.
 
Mayfield linked to stolen furniture

I'm sure it's all just a simple misunderstanding and a coincidence. ;)

Iredell authorities are looking into whether former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield is connected to furniture thefts earlier this year.

WBTV-TV reports that about $50,000 worth of furniture was among the stolen items police say they recovered during a raid at Mayfield's home last month. A local trucking company says it believes the furniture was stolen from the business back in February, according to a search warrant posted on WBTV's website.

The warrant states that Hudson police reported seeing Mayfield and another man in a "big rig"-style truck at the Anderson Truck Lines lot back in February. Mayfield reportedly told officers that the pair had been returning from a trip, and stopped at the lot after the driver became sleepy, according to the warrant. Police let the men leave after the questioning.

Later that night, the trucking company reported four trailers of furniture had been stolen, according to the warrant.
