CHARLOTTESVILLE — Virginia linebacker J’Courtney Williams faces charges of credit card theft and credit card fraud, according to university police.
Lt. Melissa Fielding said Tuesday that Williams was charged after police investigated a student’s report that his wallet was stolen at the Aquatics and Fitness Center. The theft charge is a felony, the fraud count a misdemeanor.
Williams, a freshman from Danville who redshirted last season, also was arrested in February on a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession. That case has been continued until February 2009 in Albemarle General District Court.
Williams is recovering from shoulder surgery and has not been practicing this spring.
Virginia athletics spokesman Jim Daves said coach Al Groh was not available for comment.
Williams left Danville to enroll at Christchurch School as a sophomore. As a junior on the football team, he had 78 tackles and five sacks despite playing only five games due to injury. During his senior year, Williams made 58 tackles and helped Christchurch advance to the state championship game. He received numerous honors from several media organizations and was selected to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
