A Georgia Southern basketball standout and a teammate who just graduated have been arrested on drug and weapons charges after investigators executed a search warrant at a Statesboro apartment, according to the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office. Eric Ferguson, a 6-foot-8 forward and former All-Southern Conferrence men's basketball player, and recent graduate and 6-foot-1 teammate Brian Holmes were arrested after investigators with the Statesboro-Bulloch Crime Suppression Team obtained the warrant and searched an apartment at 111 South on Rucker Lane on June 26, Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson said in a news release issued Wednesday. The search was performed after officers received complaints of "drug transactions" from the apartment, Anderson said.
