NASCAR Driver Back In Jail After Bail Bondsman Finds Him With Drugs

Being arrested once is terrible, but two times in the same week is mind boggling. That is exactly what happened to James Edward Neal. The former NASCAR driver had just been released from the Orange County jail on bail, after being arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and attempted rape.

Shortly after being bailed out, the 56 year old male was arrested at the Best Western San Clemente Inn on suspicion of drug possession. An Always For You bail bondsman tracked the defendant down when they became concerned about their client. The bail bondsman found the former NASCAR driver in the motel room with methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia.

The bondsman consequently called deputies, who in turn arrested Mr. Neal.
