Six-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller was arrested earlier this month in Idaho on two misdemeanor charges of drug possession, ​according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

Miller, 48, ‌was charged on June 6 with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to court records obtained by People magazine and TMZ. ‌The ​latter was the first to ⁠report news of his ⁠arrest.

The retired Alpine skier was released on $5,000 cash bond and later pled not guilty to both charges, per the court records ​acquired by media outlets. He has a pretrial hearing on July 29, per the reports.

Miller’s ⁠six Olympic medals are ⁠more than any other male American ​skier and came in four different disciplines. Competing ​in five Winter Games (1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, ‌2014), Miller took gold in the super combined event in 2010 at Vancouver. He also earned three silver and two bronze medals in ⁠his Olympic career.

The overall World Cup champion in 2005 and 2008 who collected four world championship golds ⁠in his ‌career, Miller won 33 World Cup ⁠races — a record for an American ​male. ‌He retired from competitive skiing ​in 2017.

He ⁠was inducted into the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee Hall of Fame in July 2025. Miller also is a member of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame Class of 2018.
