Gillum Arrest Rekindles Scrutiny Over Florida Politics
Former Tallahassee mayor and 2018 Democratic candidate for Florida governor Andrew Gillum was arrested in Daphne, Alabama, on charges of possession of dangerous drugs, drug paraphernalia, and marijuana; booked July 2 and released July 3. Gillum has a history of political and legal trouble, including a 2020 incident and a 2022 public corruption probe that ended with a hung jury and was later dropped, and there was no immediate comment from him.
