Gillum’s Legal Troubles Resurface | Jacksonville News

Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who narrowly lost his 2018 Florida gubernatorial bid, is facing new legal trouble after being arrested in Alabama for driving erratically and possessing methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Though booked into jail, he was released the next day. This isn’t his first brush with drugs — he was found in a Miami hotel room with meth in 2020, though he wasn’t charged then and later entered rehab for alcohol abuse. He also faced federal corruption charges in 2022 that were dropped after an acquittal and hung jury. Despite the setbacks, Gillum remains active in public life, having co-hosted a podcast that won an NAACP Image Award.
