College 101: don’t use a dead woman’s credit card
Posted on May 9th, 2008 – 2:06 PMBy Michael Rand
There’s missing a tackle or dropping a sure interception. And then there’s this:
Florida Gators safety Jamar Hornsby turned himself in Friday for allegedly using the credit card of a woman killed six months ago in an accident that also killed a teammate.
Hornsby, 21, a sophomore from Jacksonville, faces a third-degree felony count of fraudulent use of a credit card for more than $100, and a misdemeanor charge of credit card theft.
The story was first reported by The Gainesville Sun.
Hornsby allegedly used a credit card issued to Ashley Slonina, a University of Florida student who died in an October 2007 motorcycle accident that also took the life of Gators walk-on Michael Guilford. It was not known how Hornsby obtained the card.
Hornsby is accused of using the card starting Oct. 13, 2007, the day after the woman’s death, the newspaper said.
ESPN is also running a poll that asks you this:
Should safety Jamar Hornsby be dismissed from the Florida Gators football team for using a dead woman’s credit card?
The fact that someone might be mulling over their answer is frightening.

Right. Obviously he should be allowed to stay in school as long as he didn’t use the credit card to buy drugs. Or any Yanni CDs.
Jeebus.
Eight Fulmer Cup points. That’s impressively awful.
I think the realy question here is who will be getting the frequent flyer miles.
This guy must have been confused when he accepted a scholarship from Florida. Florida State is where all the convicts go to play football.

True, but look what Florida did to prepare Rex Grossman for the NFL.
Damn you Joker. Just for that I’m going to sleep with one of your future girlfriends tonight.
Probably not an answer the “What’s in Your Wallet?” ad guys anticipated.

You’re getting Florida State confused with Miami. Notable convicts:
Michael Irvin
Sean Taylor (may he RIP)
Bryant Mckinnie
AZGG: +1, and COW consideration.

I’m actually a Miami fan so I was correct with my initial thought. Miami has thugs but FSU has criminals, that’s what I always say.
Soon to be added to the Miami Arrested list:
Greg Olsen (TE, Chicago)
Not to make you jealous, but my roommate just move to Chicago to live with his girlfriend. She’s one of the top people for Vitamin Water. He got the pleasure of going fishing with Urlacher for a couple hours. Ok, I said it to make you jealous.
