Allegedly Had Over A Pound of Weed
Published
Not the kind of March Madness Alabama was hoping for — star Crimson Tide player Aden Holloway was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana ahead of the NCAA Tournament … after officials say there was more than a pound of weed in his home.
Tuscaloosa police tell TMZ Sports agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force conducted a search at a home on Monday … and more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash were recovered.
The 21-year-old junior was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp — both felonies.
Holloway was then taken to county jail … and bond was set at $5,000.
Holloway is averaging 16.8 points a game for the Tide … most recently dropping 18 in their loss to Ole Miss on Friday.
Bama got a four-seed in the tourney … and is slated to play against No. 13 Hofstra on Friday.
Unclear what the arrest does for Holloway’s immediate basketball future … but chances are he won’t be suiting up for the contest unless something changes in his legal status.
