Former Florida democratic candidate for Governor Andrew Gillum was in a South Beach hotel when authorities responded to a 911 call, and a police report is revealing startling details about what may have happened inside the room.
Aldo Mejias, a 56-year-old unlicensed physician, who lives near Coral Gables, alerted police to the room at the Mondrian South Beach Hotel, where Gillum was found with Travis Dyson, an associate of Mejias.
In a Rent Men profile, Dyson, 30, identifies himself as a “pornstar performer.” On social media, he shared videos of himself with a muscular man he identified as his boyfriend.
Mejias told police officers he entrusted his credit card to Dyson, who identifies himself on social media as a registered nurse. Dyson allegedly rented room 1107 about 4 p.m. Thursday at the Mondrian.
Mejias told police officers he arrived to the room about 11 p.m., and he found Dyson with Gillum, 40. He said both Dyson and Gillum were vomiting, and when Dyson collapsed he conducted chest compressions and called 911.
Officers reported finding three small clear plastic baggies containing suspected crystal meth on both the bed and floor of the hotel room.
“Officers then attempted to speak to Mr. Gillum,” the reporting officer wrote. “Mr. Gillum was unable to communicate with officers due to his inebriated state ... Mr. Gillum left the hotel room and returned to his residence.”
Miami Beach Fire Rescue personnel took Dyson to Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. According to the Miami Beach Police Department, Dyson recovered and was conscious and in stable condition.
Gillum was traveling without his wife and was at the Kimpton EPIC Hotel, a hotel employee said. The posh downtown Miami hotel is steps away from the Icon in Brickell where Dyson told officers he lives.
He released a statement Friday, describing Dyson as a friend.
“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration ... While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines,” he said in the statement.
