According to Indiana State Excise Police, Holt, 19, and Bryant, 18, were cited at 12:50 a.m. Friday.
Both players were seated in a parked vehicle with three other people in the lot of Convenient Food Mart, located at 1401 N. Dunn St., when they were approached by Excise officers.
Holt alerted Bryant of the officers, and both players attempted to conceal their bottles of vodka, Holt with a 750 milliliter bottle and Bryant with a 1.75 liter bottle.
Both players were given summonses and will be required to appear in Monroe County court to determine their punishment.
The other three passengers were not cited.
“We take this matter very seriously and are continuing to gather information,” IU Athletics representative Jonathan Campbell said in the IU Athletics media release.
Holt, who graduated from Webster Schroeder High School in New York, played 29 games off the bench in 2014-15 and ranked second on the team with 21 blocks.
The sophomore was involved in the vehicle accident that seriously injured forward Devin Davis in November 2014, when he was suspended two regular season games.
Bryant, who has yet to play a game for the Hoosiers, was ranked 20th in the ESPN Top 100 and second in the state of New York.
He committed April 4 and signed with the Hoosiers April 22.
The McDonald’s All-American received offers from Kentucky, Ohio State and UCLA, among other schools.
