An eastern Idaho prosecutor announced that misdemeanor drug charges against Olympic gold medalist skier Bode Miller will be dismissed, despite there having been probable cause for his arrest earlier this month. Miller, 48, was taken into custody on June 6 in Fremont County, which borders Montana and Wyoming, on allegations of possessing psilocybin mushrooms.

Miller entered a not guilty plea last week, maintaining that he was unaware of any drugs in his possession at the time of the arrest. He stated that the substances belonged to a friend who was traveling with him. In a social media post, Miller explained that he was stopped by law enforcement after accelerating to pass another vehicle on a highway. He asserted that his friend had a small amount of cannabis and a cannabis pipe, neither of which Miller knew about, and emphasized that they cooperated fully with the officer during the traffic stop.

Fremont County Prosecutor Lindsey Blake released a statement indicating that the charges related to drug possession and paraphernalia will be dropped. She acknowledged that the arrest was supported by probable cause but said her office recently received new information prompting the decision to dismiss the charges in the interest of justice. Blake declined to disclose details about the information, citing its connection to another ongoing investigation.

Court documents show that another individual present at the time was also charged with the same offenses. Fremont County Sheriff’s Deputy Jacob Hurt’s probable cause statement noted that Miller was found in possession of a white dispensary bag containing 4.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms.

Miller’s attorney, Jeromy Stafford, did not respond immediately to requests for comment. Earlier in the week, however, he told media outlets that Miller did not have any drugs on his person during the arrest.

The case remains notable given Miller’s public profile as an Olympic athlete, though the dismissal signals the prosecutor’s office’s intention to end legal proceedings against him while other investigations continue.
