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.
