(NEW YORK) — Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller was arrested earlier this month on drug-related charges, according to court documents.
The American alpine ski racer was arrested in Idaho on two misdemeanor charges, including possession of a controlled substance and another for possession of drug paraphernalia, the documents noted.
Miller was released on a $5,000 cash bond, the records said. He pleaded not guilty to both charges after his arrest, according to the documents.
Miller’s agent referred ABC News to a statement posted to his Instagram.
“I was pulled over for accelerating while passing another vehicle on a highway in Idaho. My friend, who was traveling with me, had a small amount of cannabis and cannabis pipe in his possession which I was unaware of,” Miller wrote.
He noted that they fully cooperated with the officer, and expressed hope that the misdemeanor charges will be dropped “once the facts are reviewed.”
In a statement to ABC News, the lead prosecutor confirmed that Miller was issued a citation and the misdemeanor offenses, but declined to make additional comments.
Miller is considered as one of the greatest alpine skiers in U.S. history. He is a six-time Olympic medalist and two-time overall World Cup champion.
His success in the sport also helped popularize skiing in the U.S.
Miller is married to professional beach volleyball player Morgan Beck and the couple share six children together.

Iron Maiden has issued a statement regarding the band’s show in Paris Monday, which was cut short due to a power outage.
As previously reported, the La Défense Arena went dark in the middle of the set while Maiden was performing the song “2 Minutes to Midnight.” The power was eventually restored and Maiden retook the stage about an hour later, but between the delay and the venue’s curfew, the show ended without the band’s usual encore.
The incident was especially inconvenient since Maiden was filming the show for an upcoming concert film documenting their Run for Your Lives tour.
“Despite everything the audience and atmosphere last night were fantastic and, like every other challenge Iron Maiden have faced over the years, we’ll find a way to deal with and overcome the missing songs in the encore when it comes to the final film,” frontman Bruce Dickinson says in a post to Maiden’s website. “We know that many of you travelled long distances, waited patiently throughout the interruption, and were looking forward to experiencing the complete Run For Your Lives show. We share your disappointment. No one is more frustrated than the band and crew, who were eager to deliver the full performance you deserved.”
“What we will remember most from last night is the incredible spirit inside the arena,” Dickinson continues. “Your patience, understanding and unwavering support through an extremely challenging situation meant the world to us. The energy in the room was remarkable and is exactly what we have to come to expect from Paris, and a reminder of why we always love playing here.”
The Run for Your Lives tour, which celebrates Maiden’s 50th anniversary, will continue through Europe into mid-July before coming to North America in late August.

Taylor Swift and one of country music’s hottest stars teamed up for a surprise duet Tuesday night in Nashville, where Taylor’s fiancé Travis Kelce was holding his annual Tight End University event.
The surprise duet took place at Sports Illustrated and Tight End University’s Tight Ends & Friends Concert Presented by Reese’s, held at Nashville’s The Pinnacle. Award-winning country queen Lainey Wilson, whose own appearance was a surprise, welcomed Taylor to the stage to sing Taylor’s hit “Love Story.” When Taylor got to the part where she sings, “Pulled out a ring,” she flashed her own engagement ring.
The event included performances by other country superstars, including Luke Combs and Dan + Shay. Comedian Shane Gillis also put in an appearance, and Travis and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle did a keg stand onstage.
Travis, George and ex-tight end Greg Olsen founded Tight End University. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, George, who’s been invited to Taylor and Travis’ wedding, said he asked Travis if the couple is really getting married at Madison Square Garden, as has been rumored. George said that Travis “laughed at me.”
George told People of Taylor’s appearance at the concert, “She’s just such an awesome person to give us her time this close to their wedding. So we’re just so thankful that they’re here.”

(NEW YORK) — Frank Carone, a former chief of staff to ex-New York Mayor Eric Adams, was arrested on Wednesday morning along with his brother Anthony and two others as part of a federal bribery case, sources familiar with the case told ABC News.
Carone and the others were expected to be arraigned in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday. Their indictment remained sealed on Wednesday, so the exact charges were not immediately known.
The case centers on a city contract issued during the Adams administration, sources told ABC News.
Carone helped with Adams’ transition into office in January 2022 and served as the mayor’s chief of staff until that December, when he departed the administration. He said as he departed that it had been an “honor keeping the trains running for this administration,” according to a press release from the time.

(NEW YORK) — The FBI and New York Police Department conducted searches on Wednesday morning at various locations around the city as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption at the nation’s largest police department.
The investigation is targeting current and former police executives, sources familiar with it told ABC News.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch issued a statement confirming the searches, saying the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau was working alongside the FBI in executing search warrants “as part of a criminal investigation being pursued by the NYPD, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.”
“The investigation is ongoing and concerns conduct by former and current members of the NYPD,” she said.
The investigation is examining, among other things, promotions and assignments and how they were carried out, the sources said. Tisch in her statement did not identify potential suspects or charges.
“When I became Police Commissioner, I promised New Yorkers that under my leadership the NYPD would conduct itself with integrity and that there would be a thorough investigation of any claim that members of service failed to meet that standard,” Tisch said. “This investigation and our actions this morning are part of the ongoing effort to fulfill that commitment and hold the Department to its highest ideals.”
The investigation was targeting the current chief of Manhattan South, Jimmy McCarthy, who has been placed on modified duty, according to the NYPD. Another target is the department’s former chief spokesman, Tarik Sheppard, sources said.
FBI agents were spotted outside the Brooklyn home of Jeffrey Maddrey, formerly chief of Department, the highest ranking uniformed officer. It was not immediately clear whether Maddrey was a part of the investigation

(NEW YORK) — France has confirmed its first Ebola case linked to the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, officials said.
The patient is a humanitarian doctor who recently returned from the DRC and has been transferred to a specialist hospital, authorities confirmed.
French health officials say the case was detected quickly, the necessary precautions are in place and that there is no indication of local spread.
“France has specialized capabilities for managing highly transmissible infectious diseases,” France’s Ministry of Health said in a statement announcing the case. “Patients are treated in a designated healthcare facility, following strict biosafety protocols (negative pressure room, dedicated equipment and protocols). Health authorities are fully mobilized and the situation is being continuously monitored.”
“All precautionary measures, including the patient’s isolation, were taken upon his arrival in the country, with transfer to the hospital under secure conditions to prevent any risk of contamination,” the statement continued.
Officials said a thorough epidemiological investigation is underway to identify individuals who may have been in contact with the patient and that they will be contacted “without delay” by the regional health agency before undergoing 21 days of home isolation while being closely monitored the entire time.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has assessed the risk of infection as “low” for European residents and travelers to areas of active transmission, and “very low” for the general European population.

(NEW YORK) — Cervical cancer deaths are 49% higher for women living in poverty, a major report released on Thursday finds.
Women living in poverty were also 23% more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to those living in higher-income areas, according to the report from the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR).
“The disparities in this situation arise from an access to care issue,” Dr. Paul DiSilvestro, division director of gynecologic oncology at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, who was not involved in the report, told ABC News.
“I think we often don’t understand the pressure on women as it relates to screening. Sometimes you have to make a choice between going to work, caring for your children, putting food on the table and getting a screening test,” he added.
Cervical cancer is typically caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). The disease is now largely preventable thanks to the introduction of the HPV vaccine nearly two decades ago. Studies show the vaccine has drastically reduced mortality rates from cervical cancer.
If cervical cancer is caught early, it is usually easier to treat, according to the National Cancer Institute. However, not all women are able to get vaccinated as a teenager or get regular screenings in adulthood.
Some public health specialists say that new data suggests stark racial disparities appear to be easing, although there is still a long way to go.
In 2000, Hispanic women were 70% more likely to die of cervical cancer compared to white women, according to the AACR report. By 2024, Hispanic women were 10% more likely to die of cervical cancer, the report found.
Efforts and strategies to decrease these disparity gaps have been in effect nationally. The AACR reports that cervical screening increased by 62% after incorporation of patient navigation services.
A study in the AACR summary combined data from 20 trials done across the country, which included information about services including transportation assistance, interpreter services, home visits, patient education, scheduling assistance and individualized financial support.
It found that lay Hispanic/Latino community members who receive specialized training to provide basic health education in the community, known as promotoras, played key roles — alongside social workers, telephone counselors and social workers — in delivering these services.
Policy changes, such as Medicaid expansion, have also produced measurable increases in screening uptake among previously uninsured populations, according to the study.
Despite these efforts, patients living in poorer counties are still experiencing worse outcomes, DiSilvestro said.
“We need to do a better job of delivering the screening to the community as opposed to expecting the community to present itself to us for the screening,” he said.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends two doses of the HPV vaccine at age 11 or 12, a shot that has proven to prevent up to 90% of cervical cancer cases.
The CDC also recommends that screening pap smears start at age 21. Pap smears look for cell changes on the cervix that could develop into cervical cancer.
“I think we can’t forget that in this situation, cervical cancer screening works,” DiSilvestro said. “But it only works if we can provide it to the people.”
