Florida cornerback J.C. Jackson is in the Alachua County Jail today facing a charge of robbery with a firearm after he allegedly participated in an armed robbery at a Gainesville apartment.
Jackson, whose full name is Jerald Christopher Jackson, was arrested early Sunday morning. A judge has ordered a $150,000 bond.
"We are aware of the news involving J.C. Jackson, and he is currently dealing with a serious issue,” Florida coach Jim McElwain said. “We don't condone any of his actions, and it is not something that reflects on the expectations we have in the program. It is being handled accordingly due to the severity of his actions.
