Was waiting for more info.........well
Andrew Gillum had quite the night with police responding to a hotel room for a possible overdose of his friend and meth being found inside.
According to reports, the former Democratic candidate for Florida governor and current CNN contributor was staying at the Mondrian Hotel in South Beach with two male friends. Police responded to the hotel after being called for a possible overdose of one of the two other men.
Shortly after midnight, officers arrived at the hotel to find Gillum “inebriated” and unable to communicate. The police report states, “Officers then attempted to speak to Mr. Gillum. Mr. Giullum was unable to communicate with officers due to his inebriated state.”
The police report notes officers found three small clear plastic baggies containing “suspected crystal meth” scattered around the room. The person who allegedly overdosed was 30-year-old Travis Dyson who was hospitalized.
The person who called police was the third man, Aldo Mejias, who claimed he gave Dyson his credit card to rent a room. He told police once he arrived to the room Gillum and Dyson were under the influence. At one point, he claimed Gillum was throwing up in the bathroom.
Gillum left the hotel room and returned to his room without issues. The police are not investigating the case as a criminal matter.
Police responded a second time to the scene to conduct a welfare check on Gillum. They determined he was in stable condition and didn’t need to be hospitalized.
Gillum released a statement reading: "I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends. While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines."
He added, "I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement. I’m thankful to the incredible Miami Beach EMS team for their efforts. I will spend the next few weeks with my family and appreciate privacy during this time."
