The Rose Award for 5-9-2008 goes to Jamar Hornsby a 21-year-old junior
safety at the University of Florida. Hornsby was issued a warrant
for his arrest on charges he used a dead woman's gas card for six
months. Hornsby surrendered on charges of credit card theft and
fraudulent use of a credit card. The credit card belonged to Ashley
Slonina, a Florida junior. She was riding a motorcycle with another
football player, red****rt freshman Michael Guilford, last October that
hit a median at a high rate of speed, police said. The two died at the
scene. They were not wearing helmets. Hornsby started using the gas
card the day after Slonina died. The card was used 33 times in Alachua
County and another 37 times in Jacksonville, where Hornsby is from.
The total amount was $3,000, said Alachua County Sheriff's Office
spokesman Stephen Maynard. It was not immediately clear how Hornsby
got the card.
The Rose Committee salutes Jamar Hornsby for his well-deserved Rose
Award. Hornsby truly exhibits the morals and character represented by
the namesake of the Rose Award. Congratulations to Jamar Hornsby,
today's Rose Award winner!
