With March Madness just days away, Alabama might be without one of its most important players. Junior guard Aden Holloway was arrested Monday after authorities found over a pound of marijuana during a narcotics search at a Tuscaloosa residence, according to multiple sources.
Holloway, 21, was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and failure to affix a tax stamp. He was taken to Tuscaloosa County jail and his bond was set at $5,000.

Authorities also found drug paraphernalia and cash during the search.
First-degree possession of marijuana in Alabama is a Class C felony in the state. If Holloway is convicted, he could face up to 10 years in a state penitentiary and up to a $15,000 fine. He could also receive a six-month drivers license suspension and have to take mandatory drug-awareness classes, per Polson law firm.
Failure to affix a tax stamp is a charge applied to illegal drugs that are possessed without state tax having been paid, per patch.com.
Holloway’s arrest comes a day after the Crimson Tide received a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The team is set to take on No. 13 Hofstra in the first round of the event Friday.
It’s unclear whether Holloway will be available for that contest. His absence would be a significant loss for Alabama. As a junior, Holloway averaged 16.8 points and 3.8 assists. He was the second-leading scorer on the team, behind sophomore guard Labaron Philon.
