Bode Miller Arrested in Idaho on Drug Possession Charges

His public denial after release on bail means the case will be decided in Idaho court on July 29.

Overview

  • Authorities say Miller was arrested on drug-possession charges following a traffic stop in Fremont County, Idaho, and he was released on bail reported at roughly €4,500.
  • Reports from multiple outlets say officers seized what they describe as psilocybin mushrooms and related paraphernalia, though those details come from early reporting and remain subject to court verification.
  • The alleged possession occurred on June 6, when police say they found a small quantity of hallucinogenic mushrooms in the vehicle, according to published court documents cited by news outlets.
  • Miller has posted on Instagram denying that the drugs were his and saying a traveling companion had a small amount of cannabis and a pipe, and he says he cooperated with officers; he has pleaded not guilty in public statements.
  • The case draws attention because of Miller’s high-profile skiing career and past family tragedies and because Idaho has strict laws on psychedelics, so the upcoming July 29 hearing will determine whether charges proceed to trial.
