US EditionAden Holloway, Alabama's No. 2 Scorer, Had 2.1 Pounds of Marijuana when Arrested, Authorities Say
Aden Holloway was charged with possession and tax stamp violations after 2.1 pounds of marijuana were found in his Alabama apartment, leading to his suspension from the basketball team.
- On Monday, agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force executed a search at Aden Holloway's 30th Avenue East residence and arrested him after finding 2.1 pounds of marijuana.
- Authorities allege the seized items included vacuum-sealed bags, packaging materials, cash, and promethazine without a prescription, suggesting possession for other than personal use and an untaxed distribution tax-stamp count.
- Holloway faces a class C felony possession charge 'not for personal use' and a failure-to-affix-tax-stamp charge, both carrying maximum penalties of 10 years and a $15,000 fine; he posted a $5,000 bond and was released from Tuscaloosa County Jail shortly after arrest.
- On his radio show Monday, Oats said the University of Alabama removed Holloway from campus and suspended him pending an investigation, emphasizing 'We got standards in our program and we've got ways we've held our guys accountable.'
- Without Holloway, Alabama, which is ranked third in adjusted offensive efficiency, the pressure on teammates like LaBaron Philon Jr. increases ahead of Friday's NCAA matchup against Hofstra.
