Mayfield, argued saying that in was a mixture of Adderall, a medication to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and an over the counter allergy medicine, Claritin- D.
Mayfield’s home was raided Tuesday by law enforcement officers who were looking for stolen goods. Law enforcement officers confiscated items that were reported stolen back in November of 2010. They found heavy equipment parts, scrap metal, welders, welding accessories, various truck parts, an engraving machine, truck mirrors and electric motor controllers.
