July 7 (UPI) -- Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee in the 2018 Florida gubernatorial race, was arrested in Alabama on drug-related charges, jail record ssay.

Police arrested Gillum late Thursday in Daphne, Ala., after they saw him driving erratically, WPLG-TV reported. One officer saw a glass pipe in the car, and a search found several marijuana cigarettes and three packages of a substance identified as methamphetamine, police said.

Gillum was released from jail the next day, The Hill reported. He was charged with possession of dangerous drugs, use or possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana, records said.

Gillum, 46, narrowly lost to Ron DeSantis in the 2018 race. He also served as Tallahassee's mayor from 2014 to 2018.

The former candidate made headlines in March 2020 when Miami Beach police said he was at a hotel while inebriated and in the company of two other men. Police also reported they found supposed crystal meth in that incident, but the men were never charged with a crime. Gillum said he'd been drinking but denied taking drugs.

While he was mayor of Tallahassee, the FBI investigated Gillum for alleged corruption. He did not face charges but paid a $5,000 fine, The Hill reported.

free-to-use “the only ship that is bad is censorship” badge

—> “proship & proud” badge

how someone sets their boundaries has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.

censorship is when someone tries to control other people what they can or can’t create and consume.

censorship is not about a random person disabling their own comments section for whatever reason. censorship is not about people blocking other people on social media as their way of setting boundaries and curating their internet experience. censorship is not about disrespecting other people’s boundaries and censorship is not about tolerating it when other people disrespect you or your boundaries.

Route 66 Memory Lane Lexington, IL

At least two girls have been seriously wounded and a 16-year-old suspect arrested after an attack at a secondary school in the southern German state of Bavaria on Wednesday.

The perpetrator appeared to have deliberately targeted the Welfen grammar school in the town of Schongau in a suspected "rampage," a police spokesperson told the AFP news agency.

She was unable to confirm press reports which claimed the assailant used a knife in the attack.

Local police said on their X account that "a suspected perpetrator has been arrested," later adding that this was a "16-year-old boy."

Initially the police had spoken of "several" injured and later on Wednesday afternoon said that "according to current information two girls have been seriously injured."

They said that the "girls' lives are not in danger" and did not specify whether they were students at the school.

Police said they are "currently assuming that the perpetrator acted alone."

'Major operation'

Police said people should avoid the area following the incident in Schongau, a town just north of the Alps of some 12,000 inhabitants.

"A major police operation is underway. We are on site with numerous forces."

A contact point has been set up for parents and relatives of the school's pupils at Schongau's fire station.

The Bild daily reported that six helicopters had been deployed by police, including one to treat the wounded.

One of the helicopters was also used in the search for the suspect, who was briefly on the run before being found and apprehended by police.

Serious violence at schools and other educational institutions is rare but not unknown in Germany.

Last year, a 45-year-old teacher was seriously wounded at a vocational college in the western city of Essen.

The prime suspect, a 17-year-old Kosovan was shot by police before his arrest. Prosecutors accuse of him of acting out of "jihadist" motivations.

In January 2022, an 18-year-old German shot dead a student in a lecture hall at the University of Heidelberg and wounded three other students, before turning the gun on himself.

On 11 March 2009, a 17-year-old teenager, Tim Kretschmer, carried out a massacre at his former secondary school in Winnenden, near Stuttgart.

He killed 15 people, nine students, three teachers and three passersby, before killing himself.
