This is the hunky gay escort found naked and overdosing on crystal meth in a hotel room with a leading Democrat, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Andrew Gillum, a married father-of-three who narrowly missed out on becoming Florida’s first black governor, was too ‘inebriated’ to speak when cops arrived at the ritzy Mondrian Hotel in Miami’s South Beach party district.
He was inside the room early Friday with two more men, one of them a 30-year-old male escort named Travis Dyson who was being treated by paramedics for a suspected drug overdose.
Cops found three plastic bags of suspected crystal meth and the third man present, Aldo Mejias, 56, told officers that Gillum and Dyson had been ‘under the influence of an unknown substance’, according to a police report obtained by DailyMail.com.

The report also noted that 40-year-old Gillum, a former Tallahassee mayor and regular CNN contributor, was seen vomiting in the bathroom and required a welfare check to see if he was ok.
Police are not pressing charges over the incident and Gillum denies taking drugs, however he later issued a groveling apology over his behavior. ‘I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends,’ he said in a statement. ‘While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamine. ‘I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement.’ Miami Beach resident Dyson describes himself as a trauma certified ER nurse on social media, where he posts photos of himself working out in the gym, partying at gay nightspots and lounging on luxury yachts. But DailyMail.com can reveal he also posts explicit photos and homemade porn movies online and has previously had a profile on the Rent.men website, which advertises male escorts and sex workers.
It is not clear how he is connected to Gillum, who narrowly missed out on becoming Florida governor in 2018 when he lost the gubernatorial election to Republican Ron DeSantis.
Gillum met his wife R. Jai Howard while they were studying at Florida A & M and together they have three young children.
When contacted by the Miami New Times, Dyson said he had known Gillum ‘for a while’ but didn’t know anything about a wedding.

According to the Miami Police Department, officers were called out at 12:55am after reports of a guest suffering a cardiac arrest at the four-star Mondrian Hotel, where room costs upwards of $220 per night.
They arrived to find paramedics performing first aid on Dyson in the wake of ‘a suspected drug overdose’ and preparing to take him to the hospital.
Mejias – described in the report as ‘the complainant’ – told officers he had given his credit card details to Dyson on Thursday afternoon to rent a hotel room.
‘Mr Mejias arrived at the hotel at approximately 23:07 hours where he discovered Travis Dyson and Andrew Gillum inside the room under the influence of an unknown substance,’ the report states.
‘Per Mr Mejias, Mr Dyson opened the hotel room door and immediately walked over to the bed and collapsed in a prone position. Mr Mejias observed Mr Gillum inside of the bathroom vomiting.
‘Mr Mejias stated that he observed Mr Dyson having difficulty breathing, prompting him to wake him up. Mr Dyson then began vomiting on the bed and immediately collapsed again.
‘Mr Mejias began conducting chest compressions on Mr Dyson and proceeded to contact police and fire rescue.’
‘Officers then attempted to speak to Mr Gillum. Mr Gillum was unable to communicate with officers die to his inebriated state.’

The report says officers performed several welfare checks on Gillum and he was described as being ‘in stable condition and his vitals are normal.’
Dyson, meanwhile, was conscious and in stable condition in the hospital.
‘Inside of the hotel room, officers observed in plain sight three small clear plastic baggies containing suspected crystal meth on both the bed and floor of the hotel room,’ the report went on.
‘Mr Gillum left the hotel room and returned to his residence without incident.’
No arrests were made and police do not plan on bringing charges.
‘At this time the incident is not being investigated as a criminal matter,’ said a spokesman for the Miami Dade Police Department.
