A University of Florida football player who played his high school ball at Sandalwood High School is accused of identity theft after using the credit card of a fellow UF student after she was killed last year in a motorcycle accident.

Jamar Hornsby, 21, turned himself in Friday morning on charges of credit card theft and fraudulent use of a credit card. His attorney, Huntley Johnson, said they learned that a judge had issued a warrant for Hornsby's arrest on Thursday.

Hornsby was later released on his own recognizance.

It's not immediately clear how he got Ashley Slonina's BP gas card, which court records show was used several times, starting Oct. 13 -- the day after her death.

According to the Gainesville Sun, the bills from her credit card continued coming to her family for six months after her death, which caused continuing emotional distress for the family.

Ashley Slonina died in a motorcycle accident in October along with another football player, redshirt freshman Michael Guilford.

Johnson told Channel 4's Jim Piggott there was a good reason why he had Slonina's credit card, and his client will cooperate with authorities.

Alachua County Judge William E. Davis ordered Hornsby not to use anyone else's credit card while the charges are pending against him. Davis said he did not order any bond for Hornsby so any money paid to a bondsman could be used for restitution for the family.
