Summary
Daphne, Alabama, police arrested Andrew Gillum on July 2 and booked him on unlawful possession of a controlled substance and marijuana possession before releasing him later that day.
Police said a traffic stop for erratic driving led officers to spot a glass pipe on the center console and recover rolled marijuana cigarettes plus three packages that tested positive for methamphetamine.
Gillum, 46, lost Florida's 2018 governor's race to Ron DeSantis by about 34,000 votes, or 0.4%, after emerging as a national Democratic rising star.
The arrest adds to years of personal and legal turmoil for Gillum, who sought treatment after a 2020 Miami Beach drug-related incident and later saw federal campaign-fund charges collapse after an acquittal and mistrial.
