GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida football player Jamar Hornsby was arrested Friday morning in Alachua County for allegedly using the credit card of a person who has been dead for almost seven months.

Hornsby, 21, turned himself over to authorities and appeared in Alachua County court. He was released later on his own recognizance.

Hornsby, who faces two charges — misdemeanor larceny and third-degree fraud — was issued a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day until his next court date.

Later Friday, Florida coach Urban Meyer officially released Hornsby from the team.

"He is not a part of our program," Meyer said in a statement.

Hornsby allegedly had been using a BP gas card owned by James Slonina and used by his daughter, Ashley Slonina, a Florida student who was killed in a motorcycle accident along with UF football player Michael Guilford on Oct. 12 of last year. According to a sworn affidavit, Hornsby used the credit card from Oct. 13 to April 3.

James Slonina told Alachua County police that he believed Hornsby obtained the card on Oct. 13 while helping the Ashley Slonina's family remove her belongings from her apartment after she died.

Hornsby, a backup defensive back from Jacksonville, has had a disappointing career at Florida, even before Friday's trouble. Last year, Hornsby was suspended for several games for breaking team rules. He also received legal representation last year for charges stemming from a fight in Gainesville.
