UF football player J.C. Jackson arrested in connection with armed robbery

Florida Gators redshirt freshman cornerback J.C. Jackson was arrested Saturday in connection with an armed robbery and is being held in Alachua County Jail on a $150,000 bond.

According to Gainesville Police, Jackson entered the apartment of an acquaintance with two other men a little before 4 p.m. Saturday. Jackson then quickly left, the report stated, while the two other men pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the resident and two visitors.

The two male suspects made the victims get on the floor and removed their pockets. One of the suspects pressed a gun to the face of one of the victim's while demanding to know where he kept his marijuana and money.
