Andrew Gillum Arrested Again After Testing Positive for Meth: Report
Prosecutors said Gillum missed a court-ordered test and later tested positive for methamphetamine, deepening legal trouble after his July arrest.
- On Thursday, August 6, former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum was ordered back into custody after prosecutors say he skipped a required drug test.
- This development follows an arrest last month in Alabama, where Daphne police allegedly discovered marijuana and substances testing positive for methamphetamine during a traffic stop.
- Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney John Oxford stated Gillum failed to report when his color was called for random drug testing, resulting in a subsequent positive test for methamphetamine.
- Gillum served as Tallahassee mayor from 2014 to 2018 and won the Democratic nomination for governor in 2018, losing the general election to Republican Ron DeSantis.
- A 2020 incident in Miami Beach involved police finding suspected methamphetamine in a hotel room, though prosecutors ultimately declined to file charges against Gillum.
