CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- 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.
