Following Tim Williams’ arrest early Thursday morning, Alabama head coach Nick Saban released a statement.

"This kind of behavior is not condoned in our program," Saban said, via Alabama Athletics. "We are currently in the process of reviewing all of the information. Once we have a complete understanding of the situation, we will determine what we need to do in terms of the appropriate discipline."

The Crimson Tide senior outside linebacker was arrested in Tuscaloosa early Thursday morning for carrying a pistol without a permit, which is a misdemeanor charge, by the University of Alabama Police Department.

Bond for Williams was set at $300.

According to multiple reports, police officers were doing a normal patrol when they smelled marijuana coming from Williams’ Chevrolet Impala, which was parked at Publix on University Boulevard. A passenger, who was not an Alabama football player, said the marijuana was his, but the officer then found a Glock 41 pistol under Williams’ seat during the search.

Williams told police the gun was his and he purchased it from a Louisiana gun store. The gun store gave him a temporary permit for the gun, but he did not have it in his possession. Williams produced the receipt for the gun to show officers and was under the impression it would qualify for a pistol permit. A valid permit was needed to carry a concealed firearm.

Williams does not face any drug charges, according to multiple reports.

Williams has recorded six tackles, three quarterback hurries, 1.5 sacks and forced one fumble in the Crimson Tide’s four regular-season games this year. Top-ranked Alabama will host Kentucky this weekend for its 2016 homecoming game.
