Alabama’s Aden Holloway, a 6-foot-1 junior guard, was arrested on Monday morning on a charge of first degree possession of marijuana, which is a felony in the state of Alabama, a Tuscaloosa police spokesperson told AL.com’s Nick Kelly.
The spokesperson said that agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force recovered more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash. Holloway was also charged with “failure to affix a tax stamp” and taken to the Tuscaloosa County Jail. Bond was set at $5,000.
In his second season with the Crimson Tide, Holloway is averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from three. He is the team’s second-leading scorer behind 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Labaron Philon.
Holloway spent his freshman season at Auburn before transferring to UA in 2024. Last year, he helped the Tide advance all the way to the Elite Eight.
Alabama earned a No. 4 seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament and is set to play No. 13 Hofstra on Friday at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa. The program has yet to comment on Holloway’s arrest.
