Jeremy Mayfield’s stepmother was accused of trespassing on the suspended NASCAR driver’s property.
A criminal complaint filed in North Carolina District Court shows Lisa Mayfield was accused of four misdemeanor counts of simple assault and one misdemeanor count of second-degree trespassing for an incident that allegedly occurred Saturday at the driver’s home.

The arrest was made at the home of Jeremy and Shana Mayfield. According to Shana Mayfield, she and her husband were on their way to Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, S.C., for a dirt-track race when they received a call from a couple that lives on their property.
Shana said the couple heard banging on the door and went to the house to investigate. She said by the time she and Jeremy arrived back at the house, Lisa Mayfield was in handcuffs.
At that point, Shana Mayfield claimed that Lisa Mayfield threatened to come back and “kill me.”
“According to the officers she was pretty high,” Cook said. “The officers took her to jail on public assistance ... to make sure she didn’t cause problems to anybody or herself. The Mayfields came up [to the magistrate’s office] and took charges out. She was arrested on those charges while in jail.” ESPN
Mayfield was suspended in May for failing a random drug test. NASCAR says he tested positive for methamphetamines, and Lisa Mayfield said in sworn testimony she personally witnessed the driver use the illegal drug at least 30 times.
He disputed her claims, alleged she was paid by NASCAR for her testimony and accused her of killing his father.
She then filed a defamation of character suit against Mayfield. The Associated Press
