Former Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is arrested in Alabama on drug-related charges, according to reported court and booking records. Gillum, who previously served as mayor of Tallahassee and was later a CNN political commentator, ran for governor in 2018 but narrowly lost to then-candidate Ron DeSantis. Multiple outlets report that Gillum is taken into custody in the Daphne area and is subsequently booked by authorities for possession of dangerous drugs, with additional allegations that include marijuana. One outlet describes the circumstances surrounding his arrest, while another focuses on the drug charges and notes his political background and previous statewide campaign. The reports characterize Gillum as a once-prominent Democratic figure whose political career later declined. Both sources agree on his identity, the location and nature of the arrest, and that the charges are drug-related. Details beyond the reported charges—such as the specific substances involved, the case status, or whether he enters a plea—are not included in the provided excerpts.
