IF he is charged with a crime, I'm pretty sure he was kicked off the team before this happened.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A search of a University of Alabama football player's dorm room in Bryant Hall last week yielded more than 100 grams of marijuana and almost $5,000 in cash, court records filed Monday show.
According to a fruits of crime forfeiture complaint filed Monday, agents of the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force were tipped off by a confidential information of a pending drug transaction involving the Crimson Tide's sophomore tight end Kurt Freitag.
Agents monitoring Freitag saw the deal go down last Tuesday, according to the complaint, although his role in the transaction is not specified.

They confronted Freitag and read him his Miranda rights, according to the complaint, and he gave agents permission to search his Bryant Hall dorm room, where they found 112 grams of marijuana and $4,661 in cash.
The agents seized the drugs and the money, but if Freitag was charged with any crime, it is not reflected in court records.
A spokeswoman for the University of Alabama said Monday afternoon that UA would look into the incident, but offered nothing further. A spokesman for WANTF and the Tuscaloosa Police Department declined to comment.
Freitag joined the Crimson Tide's class of 2012 after graduating from Buford High School in Georgia. According to rolltide.com, Freitag was a 4-star talent out of high school and played in blowout games against Georgia State and Arkansas last year, grabbing one reception for 11 yards.
