Florida player charged with using dead girl’s credit card
Florida Gators junior safety Jamar Hornsby was charged with credit card fraud for making illegal purchases on a dead woman’s credit card. Hornsby turned himself in after learning a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. He was released hours later on his own recognizance.
According to the AP, the credit card belonged to Ashley Slonina, a Florida junior. She was riding a motorcycle with another football player, redshirt freshman Michael Guilford, last October when he lost control of the bike and hit a median wall at a high rate of speed. Both died at the scene. They were not wearing helmets.
Police say Hornsby began using the girl’s credit card the day after she died. He charged a total amount of $3,000 in 6 months, according to Alachua County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Stephen Maynard.
“I would love to hear the explanation for utilizing the card of a deceased person,” Maynard said.
Florida coach Urban Meyer said in a statement that Hornsby “is not part of our program.”

What a loser…
These people died last October and this fool started using the card the day after this girl died. Talk about not having any morals what so ever.
Just one question..why did it take so long for these people to find out that he was still using this card? What? was he sending in the minimum payment to keep the card active????? Sheer stupidity to do something like this. This is just like stealing jewelry off of the deceased at funeral homes or stealing from the pockets of a dead person.
Ouch, Wow, Why and Damn!
wheres his mama?
Shame shame shame! Now your career is over before it even started.
I swear i’m going to start claiming other nationalities in a minute..
It’s sad that he’s an imbecile, because he has a stunning face!
Sandra’s Headlines Says .. Florida Player … the Florida coach Urban Meyer said in a statement that Hornsby “is not part of our program.” … Hmm …

How did they card stay sctive so long??

i think this is so sad, dont the kids know you never get something for nothing and that what goes around comes around ?
i would like to say he will learn his lesson, but i doubt it, because he should be so ashamed.
damn another bites the dust and its dag on shame that hes going to jail for being stupid
WoooooooooooW .. How Pathetic is that!!! I done heard it all now! lol Nothing shocks me in this world anymore!
Talk about the walking definition of dumbASShell?
People barely have respect for the living so I’m not surprised that no thought was given to the dead.
What a ridiculous and immature thing to do. I doubt it was worth it in the end
Who was paying the bill for six months?
He is pathetic.
****ing up someone’s credit even before they are cold. Did he not think about the consequences of his actions?!!!
I hope she comes back to haunt his ass for the rest of HIS short lived days.
Broke ass bastard!

Maybe she had automatic minium payment from a checking account someone also forgot to stop. Other than that,
there is no way that card would have been active for so long.
LOSER! capital,bold letter LOSER! smh
this is a sad story, however it doesn’t surprise me at all…people do this all the time when people die and their business matters aren’t properly handled…this is more common then you’d think, especially w/in one’s family…
