Andrew Gillum, a former mayor of Tallahassee and previous Democratic candidate for Governor of Florida, was detained by law enforcement in Alabama on charges related to the possession of controlled substances.

前塔拉哈西市長及前民主黨佛羅里達州州長候選人 Andrew Gillum，因涉嫌持有受管制物質，在阿拉巴馬州被執法部門拘留。

The apprehension occurred on July 2 in Daphne, Alabama, following a traffic stop initiated by the Daphne Police Department due to observed erratic vehicular operation. Upon inspection of the vehicle, officers identified a glass pipe on the center console, which provided the legal basis for a comprehensive search. This search resulted in the recovery of eight pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes, a bong, four straws, three pipes, and three packages containing approximately 3 grams of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. Consequently, Mr. Gillum was processed at the Daphne City Jail and the Baldwin County Correctional Facility before his release the following day. He faces potential penalties including a fine of $6,000 and a custodial sentence of up to one year if convicted of the marijuana possession charge.

此次逮捕發生於 7 月 2 日的阿拉巴馬州 Daphne，起因是 Daphne 警局發現車輛行駛異常而攔截。警察在檢查車輛時，於中控台發現一支玻璃煙管，由此提供了進行全面搜索的法律依據。搜索結果回收了 8 支預捲大麻菸、一個玻璃煙筒（bong）、4 根吸管、3 支煙管，以及 3 包約 3 克測試呈陽性反應的甲基苯丙胺（冰毒）。因此，Gillum 先生在 Daphne 市監獄和 Baldwin 郡拘留中心接受處理後，於次日獲釋。若持有大麻罪名成立，他可能面臨 6,000 美元罰金及最高一年的監禁。

This incident follows a series of personal and legal complications. In 2020, Mr. Gillum was discovered in a state of intoxication at a Miami Beach hotel alongside an individual who had purportedly overdosed; although suspected methamphetamine and prescription medications were present in the room, insufficient evidence precluded formal charges. Following this event, Mr. Gillum attributed his condition to depression and alcohol abuse stemming from his 2018 gubernatorial defeat—a race lost by a margin of approximately 0.4 percent—and subsequently entered a rehabilitation facility. Furthermore, Mr. Gillum was previously implicated in a public corruption investigation involving the alleged misuse of campaign funds. While he was acquitted of lying to the FBI, other charges were dismissed in 2023 following a mistrial.

此次事件發生在一系列個人與法律困境之後。2020 年，Gillum 先生在邁阿密海灘一家酒店被發現處於醉酒狀態，身旁有一名據稱藥物過量的人；儘管房內發現疑似甲基苯丙胺與處方藥，但因證據不足而未能正式起訴。此事件後，Gillum 先生將其狀態歸因於 2018 年州長選舉落敗（當時僅落後約 0.4%）所導致的憂鬱與酗酒問題，隨後進入康復設施。此外，Gillum 先生此前曾捲入一宗涉嫌濫用競選資金的公職腐敗調查。雖然他被裁定並未向 FBI 撒謊，但其他指控在 2023 年因審判不成立而獲撤銷。

Mr. Gillum remains under legal scrutiny in Alabama following his release from custody, marking a continuation of a period characterized by legal and personal instability.

Gillum 先生在獲釋後仍於阿拉巴馬州受到法律監督，標誌著其法律與個人生活不穩定時期的延續。
