Jeremy Mayfield's stepmother pleads guilty to trespassing; battery charges dismissed

By Bob Pockrass - Associate Editor

Lisa Mayfield, the stepmother of suspended NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield who has alleged that she has seen him use methamphetamines, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of second-degree trespassing but had four misdemeanor charges of simple assault dismissed Monday, according to the Catawba County (N.C.) Clerk of Court office.

She was ordered to pay court costs of $130, according to the clerk’s office.

The charges stemmed from an Aug. 15 incident at Jeremy Mayfield’s home in Catawba, N.C., according to the criminal complaint. In the criminal complaint, Jeremy Mayfield stated that Lisa Mayfield trespassed on his property, threatened and assaulted workers at his home.

The incident was another part of a family spat being played out in the shadow of Jeremy Mayfield’s legal challenge to his NASCAR suspension issued May 9 for what NASCAR says was a positive test for methamphetamines. Mayfield claims that the test was a false positive reading from the prescription drug Adderall, which is used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and the over-the-counter allergy medicine Claritin-D.

NASCAR filed an affidavit in July that included Lisa Mayfield’s testimony that she had seen Jeremy use methamphetamines. The affidavit was part of NASCAR’s argument that the driver should remain suspended.

Jeremy Mayfield has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lisa, whose actions he alleges contributed to the death of his father, Terry, in September 2007. Lisa Mayfield also has sued Jeremy Mayfield for defamation.

    $ 130, eh…. Wonder if Jeremy and what’s-her-name feel it was worth all the publicity that they got out of having her arrested… And before you all start yapping that Lisa had it coming, we don’t know what they said or did to Lisa that prompted such actions. I hope Jeremy pays the fine for her.. LOL

    Well, Meg, it doesn't MATTER WHAT they said to Lisa. She had NO right to be on their property without invitation. This was especially so since it is obvious there were a lot of hard feelings on both sides, especially after she lied about Jeremy to NA$CAR.

    You assume that to be true, JR, but you don’t know that a restraining order had been put on Lisa Mayfield to stay away from Jeremy. IMO she had every right to go to Jeremy’s house to speak with him if he wouldn’t take her calls. Quite possibly she just wanted to discuss what Jeremy said about her to David Newton on ESPN, "She's basically a wh*re, she shot and killed my dad."


    That comment would probably have driven me to make a little visit to the son-of-a-b*tch also if I were Lisa. A payback is a b*tch, but maybe Lisa went on a rampage after Jeremy defamed her publicly and things just got out of control when she wanted to talk to him about his slandering her. No way do I believe it’s all the step-mother’s fault. I don’t care how bad that picture of her is everywhere on the internet. If she were that awful looking then there would be several pictures of her everywhere… It’s always just that same one picture.


    Yup.. the judge and I pegged Jeremy and Shana Mayfield 100% on this one.. It takes two, or in their case three……… I hope they have the same judge when it comes time to settle his suit with NASCAR and they get what they deserve… Simply nothing …
