SPORTS YEAR IN REVIEW: Former standout athlete arrested

A former Russellville High School and University of Alabama student-athlete was arrested over the weekend on drug charges. Brent Calloway, 22, of Florence, was arrested March 20 after Florence Police found marijuana and “spice,” a synthetic form of marijuana, in the car he was driving, according to Florence Police Sgt. Scott Perkins.

Officers found eight grams of spice and an undisclosed amount of marijuana.

Calloway was free on a $4,000 bond later on the evening of March 20.

The charge for possession of that amount of spice is a felony, while the marijuana possession charge is a misdemeanor, according to Perkins.

Calloway was dismissed from the University of Alabama football team in February 2013 following an arrest for using a University of Alabama student’s debit card that he later admitted to knowing was stolen. In 2011 he was arrested for possession of marijuana as a passenger in a car that was stopped on the campus in Tuscaloosa.

Calloway was a standout running back at Russellville High School and was a highly-sought, four-star recruit that was offered scholarships by numerous schools, including Auburn and Alabama.
