Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney John Oxford told TMZ that Gillum is participating in a random testing system known as \u201c<strong>color code dr*g testing.<\/strong>\u201d Under the program, participants are assigned a color and must call a hotline each day. If their color is announced, they are required to report for testing.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford said Gillum failed to appear when his color was called. The former mayor was then tested during a court appearance Thursday, where prosecutors say the result came back positive for m*th. He was taken into custody afterward.<\/p>\n<p>The latest development follows Gillum\u2019s arrest last month on dr*g possession allegations. Police said they found 3 grams of m*thamphetamine, eight pre-rolled marijuana joints, four cut straws, three pipes and a bong.<\/p>\n<p>Gillum later passed a dr*g test, and there had been discussion about possible entry into a pretrial dr*g intervention program. It remains unclear how the latest alleged positive test could affect that option.<\/p>\n<p>Gillum served as mayor of Tallahassee from 2014 to 2018 before making an unsuccessful run for Florida governor in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><br \/>\n\t\t\t<!-- .ad-spot -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Gillum [Update] Ex-Tallahassee MayorAndrew Gillum Locked UpAgain After Allegedly Testing Positive For M*th During Court-Ordered Dr*g Screening Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is back behind bars after authorities say he missed a required dr*g screening and later tested positive for m*thamphetamine.
