Aden Holloway g charges of first-degree possession of marijuana not for personal use and failure to affix a tax stamp.
Neff said he is seeking “strict proof” of any allegations prosecutors have listed in the complaint against Holloway.
Officers with the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force claim that they found 2.1 pounds of marijuana, along with cash and some paraphernalia and packaging materials, during a search of Holloway’s residence.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14.
The University of Alabama has suspended Holloway from the basketball team, which is in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. They will face the University of Michigan on March 27.
The school will have a trial with the Office of Student Conduct to determine his status going forward.
Holloway, in his second year at the school, was the team’s second-leading scorer at 16.8 points per game. He also led the team in 3-point shooting as a starter.
