(Former?) Florida safety Jamar Hornsby is in trouble. Trouble with the law, yeah. But you have to wonder about the soul of this guy -- this is pretty disturbing stuff.Florida football players wear a black circle on their helmets with the word "Sunshine" on them. Purpose: honor the memory of fallen teammate Michael Guilford, who died in a motorcycle accident last October. That accident also claimed the life of his passenger, Ashley Slonina, who was reportedly the girlfriend of cornerback Joe Haden.
Somehow, in the aftermath of the accident, Slonina's credit card found its way into Hornsby's hands. EDSBS claims Hornsby stole the card when he was helping Haden clean out Slonina's apartment shortly after she died. Precisely however or whenever Hornsby managed to pilfer the plastic is not officially known, but what we do know is that Hornsby used the card 70 times, the first being the day after Slonina's death, and racked up $3,000 worth of debt for Slonina's grieving parents over the course of the past six months.
When a judge issued a warrant for his arrest, Hornsby surrendered himself, was briefly jailed, and subsequently released "own his own recognizance." His status with the football team is uncertain at this point.

I grew up with Michael, and I am really blown away by all of this. I would expect more from someone like that, but hey, I guess sorry pieces of shit are everywhere in this world. Really makes me sick to my stomach.

The fact that UF kicked him OFF the team tells you that they don't tolerate this kind of garbage. Look around the country, most programs have had problem players and some ***coughmiamicoughfsu*** have had way more than their share and tend to slap their wrists.

REGARDLESS WHETHER SHE GAVE THE CARD TO HIM OR HE STOLE IT, GIVES HIM NO RIGHT TO USE IT 70 TIMES FOR 3000+ DOLLARS! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ARE YOU REALLY DEFENDING THIS LOW LIFE?? I KNEW ASHLEY PROBABLY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PERSON OUT THERE INCLUDING YOU, AND YOU ARE CORRECT, THEY WERE FRIENDS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, BUT WERE NOT "REALLY CLOSE". AND I DONT KNOW WHAT GAMES YOU WERE WATCHING BUT SHE WAS NOT AT THE GAME WITH JAMAR'S MOM AND FAMILY. NEXT ON YOUR LIST YOUR SAYING THAT IT "WASNT A CREDIT CARD, IT WAS A GAS CARD". DOESNT A GAS CARD GIVE YOU CREDIT AT A GAS STATION? WHICH IN TURN IS A CREDIT CARD. IN THE END YOU SAID THE MEDIA BLEW THIS ALL OUT OF PERPORTION, WHERE? WHEN? HOW? THIS THUG DESERVES EVERYTHING HE HAS COMING TO HIM. HOW CAN YOU TRY TO VINDICATE THIS GUY WHEN HE DID WRONG 70 TIMES, AND THE FIRST WAS THE DAY AFTER HER DEATH? IF HE WAS SO CLOSE AND YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO HER, WHY WEREN'T YOU OR JAMAR OR HIS FAMILY AT HER FUNERAL? REAL CLOSE HUH?? I AM GUESSING THIS IS JUST ONE LOW LIFE TRYING TO HELP OUT A FRIEND OF THE SAME BACKGROUND.
