Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was arrested last week in Alabama on drug charges following a traffic stop.
The former rising star in the Democratic Party, who served as Tallahassee Mayor from 2014 to 2018, narrowly lost his gubernatorial bid to Ron DeSantis by just 0.4% in 2018.
Police say they pulled him over for driving erratically on the night of July 2 and found methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
He now faces multiple charges, including unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Per TMZ, Gillum was arrested with methamphetamine, cut straws, weed, pipes, and a bong.
“According to the incident report, obtained by TMZ … Gillum was arrested last week on U.S. Highway 98 near Walmart Drive in Daphne, where cops say they found 3 grams of methamphetamine, 8 pre-rolled marijuana joints, 4 cut straws, 3 pipes, and a bong during the bust,” TMZ reported.
It can be recalled that Gillum was previously found inebriated in a hotel room with two other men who had overdosed back in 2020.
Body camera footage from the March 13, 2020, incident shows police attempting to interrogate a man who was barely dressed.

Bags of crystal meth were also found in the Miami hotel room, but police opted not to pursue criminal charges.
