Alabama's Aden Holloway Arrested on Felony Marijuana Charges as Tide Prepare for NCAA Opener Without Him

Court records put the seized marijuana at 2.1 pounds, just below Alabama’s trafficking threshold.

Overview

  • Agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force searched a residence near campus Monday and reported finding marijuana, paraphernalia and cash, with records detailing loose and vacuum‑sealed packages in multiple rooms.
  • Holloway was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana not for personal use and failure to affix a tax stamp, both felonies, and was released the same morning on a $5,000 bond.
  • The University of Alabama removed him from campus and coach Nate Oats suspended him indefinitely pending a student-conduct investigation, with the team preparing to face Hofstra on Friday without him.
  • Alabama expects to have nine scholarship players available, losing its second-leading scorer who averages 16.8 points and leads the team in three-point shooting.
  • Holloway’s attorney said there is no proof of sales and indicated the court process could take up to 18 months, highlighting potential long-term ramifications for the player.
