Alabama Basketball Star Denies Drug Charges, Demands Trial

On March 24, Alabama basketball guard Aiden Holloway is denying drug possession charges

from Tuscaloosa County prosecutors and demanding a trial to clear his name.

The Crimson Tide's second leading scorer faces first degree marijuana possession and failure

to fix a tax stamp after his arrest on March 16.

By the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force, officers search his apartment and reported finding

2.1 pounds of marijuana, along with a rolling tray, packaging materials, $400.

Dollars in cash from his jacket and evidence of drug bills on his phone.

He posted a $5,000 bond and was released the same day.

The arrest came just before Alabama's NCAA Tournament run where they beat Hofstra and

Texas Tech to reach the sweet 16 against Michigan.

Holloway, who averaged 16.8 points per game and shot 44% from three point range this season,

has since been removed from.

The team and campus pending a student conduct review.

His attorney, Jason Neff, argues police violated Holloway's 4th Amendment rights and getting

the search warrant and plans to file a motion to.

Suppress the evidence, Neff fully denies all allegations and recent core filings.

As the case heads toward trial and investigations continue, all eyes stay on how this unfolds

for the young star and Alabama's postseason push.
