Prosecutors: 'Drug transactions' found on Alabama guard Aden Holloway's phone - ESPN

Prosecutors allege «drug transactions» were found on Alabama basketball star Aden Holloway's phone after he was arrested Monday on a felony drug charge, per documents obtained by ESPN. But Holloway's attorney said police violated Holloway's constitutional rights when they searched his home.

Holloway, the second-leading scorer on the team, was removed from campus and separated from his team after police found 2.1 pounds of marijuana in his apartment, prompting him to miss Alabama's 90-70 win over Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA tournament Friday.

An officer with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force, per the documents, found «drug transactions» on Holloway's phone after seizing $400 that was located in a jacket. Holloway told the officer he only uses marijuana for personal use and that he obtained the marijuana from out of state.

«The money is being seized due to seeing drug transactions on Holloway's phone, with people texting that they were going to get up with him after the season,» prosecutors said in a complaint filed on Friday. «Holloway had smaller denominations in his possession which is indicative of narcotic sales. The marijuana was in separate packing, from plastic bags to prepackaged marijuana to vacuum sealed bags.»

Police searched Holloway's apartment after officers conducted a «trash pull» and found marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia attached to containers with Holloway's name on them in a pair of trash bags they grabbed from his garbage bin, according to the search warrant. The search warrant also says police pulled Holloway's trash after there had been «complaints.» The documents obtained by ESPN do not specify what the complaints were about.

Jason Neff, Holloway's attorney, told ESPN police
