TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is out of a treatment program but remains under court supervision as his Alabama drug case moves toward a preliminary hearing next month.<\/p>\n
Gillum is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 6 at 8:30 a.m. in Baldwin County, according to updated case information. Such a hearing is used to determine whether there is sufficient probable cause for a criminal case to proceed.<\/p>\n
The new hearing date represents the next step in a case that previously resulted in Gillum being jailed after his bond was revoked.<\/p>\n
Gillum, the 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor, was arrested in Daphne, Alabama, earlier this year on drug charges.<\/p>\n
Judge allows Gillum to return to Tallahassee<\/p>\n
A Sept. 14 order from Baldwin County District Judge Scott P. Taylor provides new details about Gillum’s status.<\/p>\n
The judge ordered Gillum released from an Aug. 14 furlough order because he had completed the treatment program.<\/p>\n
Gillum is permitted to reside in Tallahassee, but his GPS ankle monitor must remain in place.<\/p>\n
The court also ordered him to continue participating in color-code monitoring and to contact AltaPointe after his release for further instructions. All other existing conditions remain in effect.<\/p>\n
The order had also reset Gillum for drug court on Sept. 24 at 8:30 a.m. at the Baldwin County Courthouse.<\/p>\n
