In order to enter the second-chance program, Holloway entered a guilty plea to a felony charge of first-degree marijuana possession and another misdemeanor for illegal possession of prescription drugs, but that plea will be set aside and the case dismissed if he successfully completes the program.
Two other charges against Holloway were dismissed, records show. The program will last six months, according to court documents.
“We are please to have this behind Mr. Holloway,” his attorney Jason Neff said in a statement to AL.com. “Now he can focus on his education and career. Upon successful completion, his charges will be dismissed.”
Holloway was arrested and later indicted on felony drug charges earlier this spring. When he was arrested, he faced two felonies: first-degree possession of marijuana as well as failure to affix a tax stamp. Then a grand jury added two misdemeanor charges: illegal possession of prescription drugs and the use/possession of drug paraphernalia, according to court records.
