Jamar Hornsby facing credit card theft charge
Safety Jamar Hornsby is facing felony charges of larceny of a credit card and fraudulent use of a credit card after court records say he used the credit card of Ashley Slonina, the UF student who was killed in a motorcycle accident last October while riding with UF football player MIchael Guilford. Guilford also died in the accident.

This is one of the most disgusting things I've heard in quite a while. I hope he gets kicked off the team. How could he do this, especially knowing his teammate was killed with Ashley and that she was the girlfriend of another teammate (Joe Haden)?
Please get rid of him Urban. He really needs to spend some time in jail. What an idiot, did he think no one would ever notice?
So much for a quiet off-season. A perfect example of why we shouldn't be so quick to make fun of other schools' problems.

Nice tiny link. Had this been another school, it would've been plastered on the front page.

stomach turning. I hope the parents of Ashley go after him in a civil suit after he goes to jail. I hope karma bites him in the ...

Terrible. What are people thinking sometimes. I am sure the boosters would have given hime some money if he really needed it.

He should go to Hell for this, RIP SLO

With the price of gas he became desperate.He deserves probation. How about community service washing cars, checking oil and doing fill ups...
No Jail. The fellow is a confused soul.

Transfer him to University of Miami, and then draft him to Oakland.

Many UF football players are low life's. This is a new low.

This would never happen at FSU. It proves UF sucks!

This will be reduced to a misdemeanor by Gator MVP Bill Cervone. (aka the Alachua County State Attorney).
Then Hornsby will have to pay restitution (which really means a booster will pay restitution).
Then Coach Meyer will sit him out for the first game against whichever directional school UF opens with. The Coach can talk tough about "character" but still have a key player back for Tennessee or whoever the first "real" game is against.
Its a tried and true approach that serves UF well.

If he isn't kicked off the team I will
never care about this school again.
They'll be dead to me. Disgusting! Besides getting kicked off the team, he needs jail time. What a twisted individual.

How disgusting! Not only did her family lose their daughter, then to have to deal with a sick person who was so selfish that he used her credit card? Where did he get it? Did he steal other things from her? What did her teammate boyfriend think of this? I am sure he is on scholarship at UF... so the price of gas is probably not an issue to him. He'll get no jail time, the alumni and the boosters will make sure that he is taken care of. On the brighter side, the opposing teams, (especially those NOLES), will make sure that he gets the crap kicked out of him on the field...

Is he Black....???

He's gone. Coach Meyer has kicked him off the team.
Posted by: | May 09, 2008 at 08:18 PM
"He is not part of our program," Meyer said in a statement released Friday.

why do they make football players bulletproof? In schools, It gives them a sense of entitlement.. where they think the rules are not for them. when truth is theyre a bunch of dimwits with nothing but pack personality

There needs to be a full investigation into how many other players/students/people knew about this and used the card or what was charged on the card. There is no chance he was the only player/student/person involved.

THIS IS A PERFECT RECRUIT TO SEND BACK TO "FIDEL CASTRO" FOR SHIPPING ALL THOSE MENTALLY DEFUNCT REFUGEES BACK IN THE EIGHTIES FOR REVENGE

Rev Wrighty--
What does it matter--it is disgusting and it doesnt matter what race, color, creed you are--it is wrong!!!!!!!!
Posted by: jackie | May 09, 2008 at 08:42 PM
I would also like to know where he got the card??? This is ridiculous and sad that a human being will act this way,
Posted by: jackie | May 09, 2008 at 08:44 PM
jackie, It has been reported, by another paper, that he took the card from her room while helping the family pack up her belongings the day after the accident. Maybe someone at the Times can confirm this?

Who gets the miles from these purchases?
Posted by: Ron Creep | May 09, 2008 at 09:14 PM
hard to believe they have a booster 7/11 to rob anytime they want.
Posted by: | May 09, 2008 at 09:36 PM
This is low down, even for a Florida Gator.
