Former
Florida candidate for governor Andrew Gillum disclosed Sunday that he is entering a rehabilitation facility, saying he had fallen into a depression and alcohol abuse after losing his bid for the state's highest post.
The Democrat's statement came days after Gillum was named in a South Florida
police report Friday that said he was “inebriated" and initially unresponsive in a hotel room along with a male companion where authorities found baggies of suspected crystal methamphetamine.
The Miami Beach police report said Gillum was allowed to leave the hotel for home after he was checked out medically.
