Gillum Iced!

Losing that Florida race really drove him into a spiral.

The former Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum was arrested again. He is apparently side eying another man and messing with the ice. 

Gillum, the co host of the Native Land Podcast with Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers was arrested on failure to test for drug possession. 

The one-time Democratic nominee for Florida governor back in an Alabama lock up.

According to Baldwin County jail records, Gillum was booked on Aug. 6.

Court documents obtained show Gillum was taken into custody after failing a drug test in court on Thursday.

Documents show Gillum missed a drug screening before his court appearance where he tested positive for methamphetamine.

This comes a nearly a month after he was arrested in Daphne, Alabama on drug charges.

On July 2, Gillum was stopped by Daphne police for erratic driving. Officers reportedly found a glass pipe, rolled marijuana cigarettes and three packs of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine in the car.

The Baldwin County Jail roster showed he was released on July 3.

Court records show Gillum’s bond was revoked following the failed drug test on Thursday.

This is not Gillum’s first brush with the law.

Gillum served as Tallahassee mayor from 2014 to 2018. He was also the Democratic challenger to Ron DeSantis during the 2018 General Election. He nearly won that election, obtaining 49.2% of the vote compared to the governor’s 49.6%.

Gillum, who ran as a Democrat against DeSantis in the 2018 election, previously made headlines in March 2020 after Miami Beach police said they found him at the Mondrian South Beach Hotel in an “inebriated” state with two other men.

According to a police report, officers found three small clear bags inside the hotel room containing suspected crystal meth, although the men were never charged with a crime.

Gillum released a statement after the 2020 incident, saying he was at a wedding the night before the incident and was drinking, but denied taking any methamphetamines.

Gillum also made headlines in 2023 when he was acquitted of lying to the FBI in a corruption case that also involved illegal use of campaign contributions.

He has not publicly released a statement regarding the latest incident in Alabama, as of Tuesday morning.

He is still married to his wife, R. Jai Gillum. They have three children.

He had numerous affairs with men and women. He came out as bisexual.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Again what people do in their private lives is none of my business. Like with Andrew Gillum, Josh Hawley, Eric Swalwell, Graham Platner, Tony Gonzalez, Mitch McConnell Max Miller, Bernie Moreno and others, they are flawed human beings. No one is walking on water.

All of these people have personal issues that became distractions. What folks need to worry about is their paychecks and the stomaches.
