Alabama's Aden Holloway arrested, facing felony marijuana charges
Alabama star Aden Holloway was arrested Monday -- four days before the Crimson Tide begin play in the NCAA tournament -- and will face two felony drug charges, Tuscaloosa County police said.
Tuscaloosa County police spokesperson Stephanie Taylor said Holloway was arrested Monday morning and transported to the county jail after agents with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force searched a residence near Alabama's campus and "recovered more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash."
Police said Holloway will be charged with first-degree possession of marijuana-not for personal use, which is a Class C felony, and failure to affix a tax stamp, also a felony. His bond was set at $5,000, and he was released from jail at 10:45 a.m. local time.
Per Alabama law, the possession charge can carry a penalty of up to 10 years in jail and a fine of $15,000.

Just sayin': If you are going to use marijuana maybe you should have looked into transferring to a school in a state where it is legal.
