Alabama Basketball Player Aden Holloway Arrested, Allegedly Had Over A Pound of Weed

Not the kind of March Madness Alabama was hoping for … star Crimson Tide player Aden Holloway was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana ahead of the NCAA Tournament … after officials say there was more than a pound of weed in his home.

Tuscaloosa police tell TMZ Sports, agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force conducted a search at a home on Monday … and more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash were recovered.

The 21-year-old junior was arrested and charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp — both felonies.

Holloway was then taken to county jail … and bond was set at $5,000.

Holloway is averaging 16.8 points a game for the Tide … most recently dropping 18 in their loss to Ole Miss on Friday.

Bama got a four-seed in the tourney … and is slated to play against No. 13 Hofstra on Friday.
