Aden Holloway Indicted as Alabama Lifts Campus Ban

Overview

• Holloway’s case, which a Tuscaloosa grand jury advanced Thursday with an indictment, now moves from district to circuit court and cancels his April 14 preliminary hearing.
• His campus ban was reversed Friday after a hearing, allowing him to attend classes as he plans to enroll this fall, according to his attorney.
• He faces two felony counts — first-degree marijuana possession and failure to affix a tax stamp — tied to a March 16 search that agents say found about 2.1 pounds of marijuana, packaging, paraphernalia, $400, and alleged phone evidence of transactions.
• He was released on a $5,000 bond and remains suspended from team activities as the university’s conduct review continues, though he traveled to the Sweet 16 and did not play.
• His attorney said he will contest how the evidence was obtained and explore options like pretrial diversion or a settlement, noting felony cases in Alabama often take many months to reach trial.
