The report states that one of the individuals told authorities that he entered the room at 11 p.m. where he “discovered [the overdose victim] and Andrew Gillum inside the room under the influence of an unknown substance.” Gillum, the former mayor of Tallahassee, was discovered vomiting inside the bathroom.

A Miami Beach Police Department spokesperson confirmed the report and said arrests were made.
“At this time the incident is not being investigated as a criminal matter,” said Ernesto Rodriguez.
“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,” Gillum said in a statement. “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.”
Conservative activist Candace Owens appears to have revealed the police report first Friday morning.
Florida Republican Ron DeSantis defeated Gillum in the race for governor last November. He has since joined CNN as a political commentator.
