Summary
Alabama guard Aden Holloway was arrested on Monday for possession of marijuana and allegedly had 2.1 pounds in his apartment. Prosecutors found evidence of drug transactions on his phone and smaller denominations of marijuana in his possession. Holloway’s attorney claims the search was unconstitutional, and he will fight to ensure that prosecutors cannot use the evidence in legal proceedings. Holloway was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp, and his bond was set at $5,000. He was released from jail on Monday and his status with the team is uncertain.
