Legendary star Aden Holloway faces hefty penalties after busted for a colossal drug haul!
Aden Holloway was removed from Alabama's campus following his arrest Monday.
Authorities reportedly found 2. 1 pounds of marijuana in the apartment of Alabama star basketball player Aden Holloway, according to documents acquired by ESPN on Tuesday. Charging documents claim police found marijuana in multiple areas of Holloway’s residence, in addition to cash, a prescription sedative, a rolling tray and packaging materials during their search.
Holloway, 21, was arrested Monday following that search . He was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp. First-degree possession of marijuana is a Class C felony in Alabama, which could result in a maximum of 10 years in a state penitentiary and a $15,000 fine.
Charging documents acquired by ESPN paint a far more comprehensive picture of Holloway’s arrest, including a list of items found by authorities during their search. Per the charging documents, the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force was executing a search warrant at Holloway's apartment when authorities found marijuana in a backpack, a jacket pocket, a suitcase, in a TV entertainment stand and a vacuum-sealed bag, along with cash, the prescription sedative promethazine, a "rolling tray" and packaging materials. That was just in one room.
Authorities found additional marijuana in other parts of Holloway’s residence, per the charging documents. The amount of marijuana allegedly found at Holloway’s apartment is significant, as any amount 2. 2 pounds or higher is considered enough to warrant a drug-trafficking charge in Alabama.
