Jail records obtained by Fox 49 News show former Tallahassee Mayor and Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is in the Baldwin County Jail in Alabama tonight.
The "TMZ" website quotes Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney John Oxford as saying the 46-year-old Gillum was jailed after reportedly failing a drug test.
In July he was pulled over for erratic driving, and later charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a felony and second-degree possession of marijuana, which is a misdemeanor. He was booked into the Daphne City Jail before being transferred to the Baldwin County Correctional Facility but was released shortly after, jail records show.
Oxford tells TMZ Gillum was taking part in a random drug testing program after his last arrest last month in Daphne, Alabama July 2nd.
TMZ reports Gillum did not show up for his expected drug test on the day it was called for, so he was tested at his court appearance Thursday.

These are the kinds of vermin the Democrats run for political orifice.
Reminds me too much of the guy Trump has endorsed for FL governor.
This and the Somalis are what infests Minnesota.
And none of them are wearing the orange jump suits ... yet I pray.
We need to see if we can get Justice Clarence Thomas to come out if he can and support this guy, one way or another.
Building his national democrat party creds. Soon to be VP candidate. Needs some sex trafficking charges to really nail the deal.
And to think Gillum only lost the race for Florida governor in 2018 to DeSantis by a margin of .4 percent:
DeSantis: 49.6%
Gillum: 49.2%.
He looks good in orange.
So does Hillary.
Eight years ago Gillum was one of the rising stars in the Democrat Party, both in Florida and nationally. He barely lost the gubernatorial race to DeSantis. Had he won it’s likely his name is mentioned as a presidential candidate in 2024 and beyond.
Now he’s a drugged up mess. It looks like Gillum made a pact with the devil and now he’s come to collect his soul. Politics and the entertainment field are playgrounds of pure evil!
So, he’s on the ballot?
He’s like that Cambridge plagerist who got past the intellectuals. All it tells me is that it’s doable. A whisker close of becoming governor. DEI infects the democrat voter. It’s just not he higher-ups.
The two tier justice system in action. Small fine and he’ll be on his way.
I think the Broward county cheat machine was still in operation back then
Seriously. He was ahead of his time when he ran against DeSantis. If he were running now the democrats would line up around the block to excuse the drug use and gay prostitutes
And some wonder why the political system is so screwed up.
The higher up they (felons) get in the system the worse it gets.
Seriously, based on what?
Disgusting.
