Alabama's Aden Holloway found with 2.1 pounds of marijuana - ESPN

Authorities found 2.1 pounds of marijuana in Alabama star Aden Holloway's apartment when he was arrested on a felony drug possession charge Monday morning, according to charging documents obtained by ESPN on Tuesday.

The amount discovered in the arrest is significant because any amount of marijuana above 2.2 pounds — or a kilogram — in the state of Alabama can result in a drug trafficking charge.

Holloway, who was «removed from campus» and is not with the team days before the NCAA tournament because of the arrest, told police he wanted to exercise his Miranda rights and remain silent during the search of his apartment but then told police «he only smokes.»

Coach Nate Oats said the team is preparing to play without Holloway when it faces Hofstra on Friday in the NCAA tournament.

Holloway posted $5,000 bail and was released from the Tuscaloosa County jail shortly after his arrest.

He has been charged with a class C felony drug possession charge, «not for personal use,» and a failure to affix a tax stamp charge. They are both felonies and they both carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail and a $15,000 fine.

Per the charging documents, the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force was executing a search warrant at Holloway's apartment when authorities found marijuana in a backpack, a jacket pocket, a suitcase, in a TV entertainment stand and a vacuum-sealed bag, along with cash, the prescription sedative promethazine, a «rolling tray» and packaging materials.

That was just in one room.

Authorities also found marijuana in a box and a drawer in a spare bedroom.

It's unclear what prompted the search warrant.

Per the charging documents, authorities believe Holloway was in possession of «marijuana for other than personal use» and
