Jeremy Mayfield charged with 28 felonies

you guys reached some sort of finality with nascar i mean at some point there was a raid on your house right was this all part of do you do you lump this all in together with that or is was this a separate deal it was a separate obviously but when you get the discovery of everything and you find the first you know five inches of paperwork it's all nascar stuff you know the things that they sent them what do you mean well you know for example i don't know where you want to start on all this i don't know let's start here let's start a whole another let's start here real quick and i don't know how long this goes i'm just saying start here there was a raid on your house right what what was the raid for and what came of it it was a month before the appeals court you know because we were we appealed it we like killed nascar's decision and uh felt real confident that we were going to win you know that we're going to win the appeal okay and then that would be another thing that would be you know try to sum all this up and put it into it or whatever and uh so a month before we're uh getting regular scrap yard i'm doing my copper deal i was telling you about and all of a sudden a guy came through my shop you know that that wasn't supposed to be there on my property that i didn't want there you know and uh he was a local guy that came in and you know always trying to sell something or he just stopped in well well no this is about he stopped in about he he would come through every once in a while right he was just trying to sell things yeah weed eaters and all kinds of yeah and he was just randomly come and go and how did you meet him in the first place about him doing that just coming in showing up at my shop yeah you know what i mean and you know trying to be friends and just trying to hang out i'm sure you know a little bit while i'm talking about that yeah you get that right people just show up right trying to be a friend or fan or whatever and uh so i found out what the guy was all about so i said look man you don't need to come back around here just you know you're not welcome here just stay away basically and he had some stuff on your property that you wanted to get yeah or something yeah a truck and a boat and then the other and that's when i found out that the boat was probably stolen and everything else you know and uh so i said look you get your stuff and just go on and stay away from here pretty much well all of a sudden one day i hadn't seen him for a month or so two months you know we're getting ready to go to the scrap yard here he comes just pulling in with some dude in the truck and just walks right by me right straight through my shop you know and i'm like that was kind of weird you know that i just he knows not to come in here now what am i going to do you know i got to do something to make it you know let him know i don't want him here you know another guy sitting in a truck as i'm already thinking it's weird that he showed up and just walked right past me into my shop you know and uh so about that time we walk outside and the guy sitting in the truck on his phone like man you need to get this guy out of here you know i don't want him here within seconds later the guy gets out of his truck and and all i hear is here they come you know well now i know i hear them here they come mean so you know what i mean it's like they're coming oh yeah when he said that it was like uh there's people coming out of the out of the bushes now the you know sliding in bands and i mean it was crazy you know yeah i had a long driveway and uh like scarface this is a second scarf oh yeah well i'm thinking this so so i'm seeing all this going on and my shop at that point in time was right across the street from my house but not cross street kind of like a whole field you know but i could see over there and um and i had a cabin on top of the hill another cabin place whatever without when they he when that he said here they come it was uh all blacked out just ar-15s just i mean just coming from everywhere you know on the floor you know doing all this stuff you know and everybody's you know a couple of my guys there was help me you know we're all you know on the floor and everything else you know and and then i get up and i look over my house and it looks like um i've never seen that like it's in a movie i mean it was like they were covering herself and you know running side by side and they had the big thing that opened you know that slammed the door open and i'm sitting there watching all this and everywhere i looked there's somebody blacked out with guns on you know and and blacked out cars and sat in the other so probably like 90 people 80 or 90 people yeah oh just like that you know you shoot your pants uh about piston for sure but that's something else too i'll tell you but so all this going on i'm looking over my house and my wife had she's gonna go to work she worked at up in um uh hickory i'm thinking wonder what she's thinking you know and so at the time like a couple seconds in my mind i'm thinking man there's something big going on here you know there's a killer loose or somebody broke out of prison or something they think he's here or something something bad is going on because nobody told me at this point in time all we know there was no sheriff nothing on their suits nothing just all black camouflaged black faces covered i mean you can imagine what that would look like you know eventually a guy come to me and said after it all settled down a little bit and they're still everywhere like ants running around and uh shows me a search warrant so we had search warrants search a property looking for a stolen piece of scrap metal you know like a plate i'm telling you there's like a 12 by 12 or 14 by 12 steel plate well i had like probably thirty thousand dollars of copper on my robot we're getting regular sale and i'm thinking steel plate and i said well i got all kind of steel my shed out there because y'all got steel scrap everywhere you know how that goes on race team i said i'm going to look forward if you want to i'm not sure what you're talking about but this is kind of big for a steel plate you know what they're doing here so it just started getting worse from there but that was a long day for me and something else i had to deal with after that and it was a month before our appeal so they there ended up being 15 25 counts of felony counts from that raid and there was some they said they found drugs in a safe and and multiple pieces of equipment or something that was stolen and ended up being this really long list of charges against you you know so like how how does how that's not just bad luck right like how does that happen well i still have no idea what some of the charges were i had 28 felonies after it was all i went to jail five times after that about every month i was going to jail for that raid that one particular raid well actually they come back a week later and did it again raided you again raided me again you know then i turned myself in you know then you know a couple months go by well you got to turn myself in again turn yourself in you go into the jailhouse right been indicted yeah going to jailhouse did you spend the night did you stay did you have any time in jail i'll sit there for a little bit but i got to get i was out pretty quick as i went in but still had to go you know and uh they indicted me for this for four counts here inviting me for five counts here and this is all separate times i was going what's their evidence well they when it all was all said and done i bought a auction speaker system that you can like announce in a mic or whatever to do auctions i did auctions from that boy there that i was telling you about and uh it was supposedly stolen so i got possession of stolen goods basically and uh after all the 28 felonies one way you know this ain't the other but i mean one of four accounts were like uh 10 years a piece i'm sitting in front of judge he said he said this is a minimum of 10 years of peace i'm missing four of them that's uh 40 years you know yeah i'm thinking man and and it was a larceny of a trailer backslash aircraft what is that i have no idea still this day i have no idea what air trailer aircraft yes backslash aircraft you know what about the drivers there's only four of them what about the drug charges well the drug charges were like this i'm sitting there and watching all this going to my house and you know raiding it looking at everything pouring all the cereal out of the other boxes and just tearing my house you know just apart you know basically and um i had a safe in my in one room i had a bunch of guns i collected guns forever and it's that another so they wanted me to open my safe up nowhere on the on the search warrant said we're looking for you know we want to get in your safe or search your safe or anything else looking for a stolen piece of scrap metal and stolen goods or something like this or stolen piece of plate or whatever it was we go back to my safe open it up thinking you know i haven't done anything wrong again okay what's this for a piece of you know sheet metal or plate but you pour my cereal out of boxes in here looking through all my books you know we walked back in there opened safe up they said okay you know you need to go go back on front porch with your wife who basically they when he was raiding my house over there they grabbed her and threw her down she just got out of the shower got her in handcuffs you know face planted to the floor for no reason whatsoever you know she's not gonna shoot him or hurt anybody that he's gonna kill my dog he was barking so if you don't shut your dog up we're gonna kill you kill your dog okay all this is going on just one you know one thing after another so anyway they opened safe up send me back outside i go outside and hurt she and i were sitting on the porch and i'm just looking around like this and just see everywhere i look there's somebody taking pictures or something you know just big stuff going on probably 15 minutes later they come out and i was probably 45 minutes later they come out and one of the detectives did and he said i need to see for a second you know so i walked over side and he had his hand like this and you see like a you know like plastic on the other end of just barely a piece of plastic sticking out saying he said you know what i got here in my hand i said no he said we found meth and you're safe i said you didn't find meth in my safe and i and of course when you're sitting there at the time you're like you know there's no meth and you're safe you know so i'm going to say what you didn't find in my safe because i ain't there ain't no meth here you know yeah there is he said we found this all i could see we just barely sent something sticking out and uh he said but we don't want to take you to jail jeremy we want to make this right for you whatever you know he said um we need you to call you know one of these people on this list and get them over here and we'll want you to do a buy on them or whatever they do what does that mean right that means you know for me to call whoever's on this list if i know them they come over and sell me drugs and they arrest them okay so they wanted you to be an informant right so and while this so they show you a list of things show me a list of names i read the names i was like i didn't recognize nobody on the list i said but if you only call them i will you know if you only call them but i'm telling you right now i don't know any of them and i don't know what's they're probably gonna laugh at me you know like oh yeah so he said well go sit down he said and we'll get back with a few minutes and he said think about uh where you can buy drugs at who you can buy them from and you know basically do this by deal so i go out front i'm sitting here like this i'm thinking what in the world do you you know what's going on here i'm thinking too that i ain't got nothing there ain't no drugs i don't know what they're talking about they want me to do abide in this that another and i had no idea you know about any of this stuff you know what i mean and just just spun out pretty much and uh so at that point i'm starting to get a little bit mad you know thinking what do you want you know what happened to this the piece of scrap metal y'all come here to look forward you're in my house tearing my house apart he comes back to me and says uh did you think of everybody and at the time i was kind of pissed off and i said i didn't think i couldn't thank nobody you know i honestly couldn't think of where i could go have somebody come over there and sell me drugs while this is going in progress you know he said i said i don't know what you know what you want or how you want me to do whatever and i said oh i just thought of somebody he goes and when i did that he goes oh really who is he you know he gets all excited and i said um i probably shouldn't say this but i should go and say i said because i was pissed because i had a good feeling where all this was coming from i said uh probably the nascar garage area would be the only place i know like this just being mad and just being pissed off at nascar and that nether and probably should never said that you know and when i said that the other guy says he's not going to work with us he said i don't guess he is and i'm still thinking what are you gonna do because i know you didn't find that in my safe whatever whatever you got in your hand and then that's when he said well lock him up so when i said that five seconds later boom my hands around my you know my back and i'm going to jail you know yeah so you're saying i i mean this is pretty obvious but i'm just going to state for the record here you're saying whatever he held in his hand was not meth no and it didn't come from my safe whatever and there certainly wasn't anything in your say no you're saying that and they got in your safe howl i let them in you let them into this yeah you know they wanted in my safe i was like okay now you walk in there i had a gun room and had a bunch of guns in it and it was you know and something that was in my safe was i had a bunch of coins and all the stuff that i'd put in little plastic wrappers that you put coins in you know if i found a silver dollar or whatever you know i had all that stuff in there so i had baggies in there and it was clearly you could see what they were for you know and uh but there's no meth in there no drugs in there you know i didn't have to open the safe up if i didn't want to you know and i did anyway well then i see anyway they sent me to jail after that it was just like i mean i keep going all day on all you know all the details but whatever but so that's the first time i went to jail basically the guy while he's filling the papers out put me in jail or whatever down there and he goes another guy come out and he said what it weigh he goes well basically the weight of a baby one point something grams you know and you know so they wrote down one point something grams of what it was was it but the guys you know i heard him say basically the weight of the bag you know so i'm assuming that well it was a bag that won bags i had my safe you know not realizing whatever but uh so anyway the judge let me out i didn't get i had to go to jail and all that stuff okay how many counts were there 28 something like that 28 of the 28 you're saying that there was there was complete innocence in all 28 of those counts no there was like uh two counts of um possession of stone goods that that i admitted and told them i had you know you had possession of stolen goods but you're saying you bought them yeah you bought them but they were stolen right just like a pawn shop or anybody do you know i'm sure if somebody around here has bought something that's stolen somebody will not know you don't know where the stuff from the pawn shop usually you just assume it is stolen actually right right so i know that for i know that for um for months and months and months that you wouldn't accept a plea deal that had any felon charge on it and did you eventually have to do that or because i know you wanted to you're obviously trying to keep that off your personal record right right so i find that kind of funny because um you get raided all that is happening right your world's exploding all around you right you're just like oh my god what's happening how did i get here right right how do you decide to keep turning away the plea deals that they keep sending you right and like i ain't accepting that right tell them no felony charges tell them no felony charges i'll plead to anything that they felt and you just went on and on yeah they went on for two and a half years why how why are you not like just trying to get this off your back right well because i for one i didn't want to be a felon i didn't want to go to jail you know i didn't i didn't but if you pled guilty to the felony charge i think you would have still not done any jail time he might not have no this was oh yeah this was they wanted to yeah this was my first how do you get to decide that you're going to be the one to tell them what you're going to accept right i just was like this i was like for one it didn't happen all 28 didn't happen all at one time like that like say it say a month or two after that they'd indict me again because i didn't accept one right here you know yeah now now i'm indicted for five more okay then you know another month half goes by and five more you know then three more into different counties too you know different counties were coming aboard so you know that made it hard for me to fight all this okay well then at the end of that month i was telling you about was my uh hearing for our for the appeal for the appeal and the nascar drug test exactly and so meanwhile when we started getting our discovery you know we get discovery for everything they've accused me for whatever basically well there was all kind of stuff on top of it that was just all nascar stuff you know well why would that be a part of my case now this had nothing to do with nascar so why is nascar you know basically all their stuff information coming in on this you know so then we go to appeals court and of course the first you know 30 minutes they stand up and their attorneys are telling you know there's eight whatever six judges up there whatever it is that mr mayfield just got uh arrested for methamphetamines and gun charges and and just one right for another you know and and how you gonna win that you know and even though they shouldn't base it off that had nothing to do with it's totally separate but you know the judges are listening and going yeah how are we going to ruin that you know so basically we lost our appeal and then it was over after that as far as nascar did yeah hey if you like that conversation you ought to listen to the entire podcast because it's all really good the dell junior download is
