Former Tallahassee mayor and 2018 Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum has been returned to custody in Baldwin County, Alabama. The detention follows a July arrest in Daphne, where authorities reported finding marijuana and methamphetamine during a traffic stop.

Following that initial arrest, Gillum was participating in a court-supervised ‘color code’ drug testing program. However, a judge revoked his bond after he allegedly failed to appear for a required screening and subsequently tested positive for methamphetamine during a court appearance on August 6.
