Lion Heart 15,041 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Andrew Gillum, who in 2018 came within 34,000 votes of becoming Florida’s governor, was discovered by police at a South Beach hotel early Friday morning in a room with bags of possible methamphetamine and in the company of a man who appeared to have overdosed on drugs, according to a Miami Beach police report. Police say they were called to the Mondrian South Beach early Friday morning and found paramedics treating Travis Dyson, a 30-year-old Miami man, for an apparent heart attack. They say two other men were in the room: Aldo Mejias and Gillum. Police say Gillum, who was not arrested, was too intoxicated to answer questions. An offense incident report says that officers found three clear plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth on the bed and floor. Gillum, a former Tallahassee mayor, issued a statement Friday afternoon in which he denied using drugs. “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,” he said. “I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement.” According to police, Mejias told officers that he gave his credit card information to Dyson to rent the room Friday and planned to meet him later in the day. When he went to the room shortly before midnight, Mejias said he found Dyson and Gillum “under the influence of an unknown substance.” Mejias, 56, said Tyson opened the door to room 1107 to let him in and then collapsed on the bed. He said Dyson was having trouble breathing, so he woke him up. Dyson then vomited and collapsed again, so Mejias said he performed chest compressions on Dyson and then called paramedics. Mejias told police he saw Gillum, 40, vomit in the bathroom. Attempts to reach Mejias by phone Friday were not immediately successful. Police say Dyson was taken to Mount Sinai in stable condition. They returned to check on Gillum who was not arrested and was allowed to return home “without incident.” https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article241165641.html ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I've been following this all morning. It's sad. I'm hoping Andrew's statement is true. And the whole situation just looks bad and he was just drunk... But ugh, and the the fact he was a wife and kids which makes this worse. I'm not going to shame Andrew for his decisions though. Hopefully more context comes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,652 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I don't think this is really a scandal. A politician got too drunk and his friend did drugs, then their other friend came in to the hotel room and was thankfully sober enough to recognize the emergency, provide first aid care, and call the ambulance? Personally I think this should have been spun as "Hero Mejias makes good decisions when he finds his friends too intoxicated" My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Heart 15,041 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 One thing's for sure: he's out as a VP candidate. I don't know why, but this smells like a set-up to me. This reminds me of an incident during the 2018 election when an undercover FBI agent gifted him tickets to see Hamilton, but there was some rules against those types of gifts, which got him into legal trouble. Some people were saying that he was found 'naked' and they suspected some kind of orgy, but there is NO proof of that. I just don't anymore. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Apparently Travis Dyson had a Rentmen profile, which has been deleted. Not looking good. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
