Olympic skiing star Bode Miller has pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor drug charges in Idaho following his arrest earlier this month.
According to court records, Miller entered his plea after being charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The former Olympic champion has denied wrongdoing and said he hopes the charges will be dropped once authorities review all the facts surrounding the incident.
Miller was arrested on June 6 in eastern Idaho and later pleaded not guilty to both charges.
He explained in a post shared on Instagram that he was stopped by police after accelerating to pass another vehicle on a highway.
A friend who was traveling with him had a small amount of cannabis and a cannabis pipe, adding that he was unaware those items were in the vehicle.
The court documents do not provide many details about what happened during the stop.
However, a probable cause statement filed by Fremont County Sheriff’s Deputy Jacob Hurt stated that officers found Miller carrying a white dispensary bag that contained 4.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms.
