   CNN contributor and former Democratic candidate for Florida   
   governor, Andrew Gillum, was found "inebriated" early Friday   
   morning in a hotel where meth was also recovered, according to a   
   Miami Beach, Florida, police report.   
      
   Gillum, 40, was in the room at the Mondrian Hotel in South Beach   
   with two other men when police arrived shortly after midnight,   
   according to the report obtained by Fox News.   
      
   Police said they were called in response to an apparent drug   
   overdose involving one of the other men.   
      
   “Officers then attempted to speak to Mr. Gillum,” an officer   
   wrote in the incident report. "Mr. Giullum was unable to   
   communicate with officers due to his inebriated state.”   
      
   Paramedics responded a second time to the hotel to conduct a   
   welfare check on Gillum, the report says.   
      
   “Fire Rescue stated that he was in stable condition and his   
   vitals were normal,” the report says.   
      
   "I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first   
   responders were called to assist one of my friends,” Gillum told   
   a Miami Herald reporter. “While I had too much to drink, I want   
   to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines.   
      
   "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."   
      
   The incident report says that officers observed in plain sight   
   three small clear plastic baggies containing suspected crystal   
   meth on both the bed and floor of the room.   
      
   Gillum left the hotel and returned to his residence without   
   incident, the report says.   
      
   “At this time the incident is not being investigated as a   
   criminal matter,” Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez   
   told Fox News.   
      
   The person who suffered the drug overdose was identified in the   
   police report as Travis Dyson, 30. He was hospitalized.

   The man who called police, Aldo Mejias, 56, told them that he   
   gave Dyson his credit card to rent a room.   
      
   He told police, according to the report, that when he arrived in   
   the room he discovered Dyson and Gillum under the influence of   
   an unknown substance.   
      
   “Mr. Mejias observed Mr. Gillum inside of the bathroom   
   vomiting,” the report says. He then performed CPR on Dyson.   
      
   Gillum joined CNN as a political commentator in January 2019.   
      
   CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.   
      
   Gillum had served as mayor of Tallahassee and ran for governor   
   in 2018. He was defeated by Republican Ron DeSantis in a close   
   race.   
      
   He was investigated for ethics violations as mayor.
