Olympic skier Bode Miller has broken his silence after news of his recent arrest broke.
"I was pulled over for accelerating while passing another vehicle on a highway in Idaho," Miller shared in a statement via Instagram on Tuesday, June 23. "My friend, who was traveling with me, had a small amount of cannabis and a cannabis pipe in his possession which I was unaware of."
Miller continued, "We fully cooperated with the officer. I am hopeful the misdemeanor charges will be dropped once the facts are reviewed."
The retired athlete was arrested earlier this month and charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, according to TMZ.
Contrary to Miller's account, the arresting officer claimed in the probable cause affidavit that Miller was in possession of a white dispensary bag containing 4.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, the outlet reported.
Miller pleaded not guilty to both counts and was released after posting a $5,000 bond.
The former alpine ski racer's arrest came just days before the anniversary of his daughter's death. In June 2018, Miller and wife Morgan Beck lost their then-19-month-old daughter, Emeline, in a drowning accident.
