Police say Andrew Gillum was in a hotel room with an apparent overdose victim
Andrew Gillum, the former Democratic candidate for governor of Florida, was present in a Miami Beach hotel room as medical personnel treated a man likely suffering from a drug overdose on Friday morning.
Gillum was a rising star within the Democratic Party. His bid for governor of Florida in 2018, which became “,” was historic. He was the first Black major-party gubernatorial candidate in Florida’s history. Some saw Gillum, who grew up deeply embedded in poor and working-class Black Southern culture, as a figure who expanded what was possible for Black politicians in high-level politics.
According to the report, Aldo Mejias, the 56-year-old complainant, provided his credit card information to Dyson so that he could rent a hotel room for Thursday night, which he did around 4 p.m. Mejias arrived at the hotel just after 11 p.m. where he said he found Gillum and Dyson intoxicated by unknown substances. Dyson opened the door, went over to the bed and collapsed. He was having trouble breathing. When Mejias woke Dyson, he began vomiting and collapsed again.
