After news broke that a police report named him in an alleged crystal meth-involved drug overdose call, former Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate and current CNN contributor Andrew Gillum responded Friday morning to the allegations.

“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends,” the former Tallahassee mayor said, as reported by the Miami Herald’s David Smiley. “While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines.”
