UF notebook: Smith facing possible criminal charge

File

Redshirt freshman defensive end Jordan Smith, one of seven players suspended last Sunday for misuse of scholarship funds, is now facing a possible criminal charge for possible credit card fraud.

GPD spokesman Ben Tobias confirmed Friday that police did an open criminal investigation involving Smith on Thursday that has been forwarded to the detective division for follow-up. The other six suspended players are not part of the investigation.

Smith and the six others — wide receiver Antonio Callaway, defensive end Keivonnis Davis, defensive tackle Richerd Desir-Jones, offensive tackle Kadeem Telfort, linebacker James Houston and linebacker Ventrell Miller — were suspended from the opening game against Michigan last Sunday and also suspended from all team activities.
