Filed under: Motorsports, Etc., Government/Legal

Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield is back in the news for all the wrong reasons again. Back in 2009, Mayfield was suspended indefinitely from NASCAR after testing positive for methamphetamine. Twice. Now the driver is in trouble with drugs again, as CBS News reports that Mayfield has been arrested on meth charges.

Mayfield, 42, was reportedly busted at his home in Catawba after police searched the house for stolen goods and found the drug. The Catawba County Sheriff's may have also found the stolen goods, as several items were seized to determine if they are actually stolen property. Mayfield was released from jail on $3,000 bond.

Mayfield started his career back in 1994. During his abbreviated career, he won five races, and in 1997, he finished 13th in points.
