Overview

  • Police say a narcotics task force search near campus recovered more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash; court records later reviewed by AL.com reported a little over two pounds were found.
  • Holloway was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana not for personal use and failure to affix a tax stamp, both felonies under Alabama law.
  • He was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail on Monday morning, had bond set at $5,000 and was released at 10:45 a.m. CT.
  • Coach Nate Oats said on his radio show that Holloway is suspended pending the UA Office of Student Conduct investigation and that the team is preparing to play without him.
  • Alabama, a No. 4 seed, faces Hofstra on Friday in Tampa; Holloway averages 16.8 points per game and is one of the Tide’s top three-point shooters.
