Virginia linebacker J'Courtney Williams, already on probation for possession of marijuana, now faces a larceny charge in connection with a March 10 incident at UVa's Aquatic and Fitness Center.

University of Virginia police reported that Williams and another UVa student, Lester Spellman III, were accused of stealing a credit card and then using it.

Williams is one of two UVa football players to be charged with larceny since the end of the season. Mike Brown, a defensive back, was accused of taking stereo equipment from a car and also was charged with marijuana possession.

Williams, a freshman from Danville by way of Christchurch School, was redshirted this past season and eventually underwent surgery to both of his shoulders. He was the top-rated signee in the Cavaliers' 2007 recruiting class.

Coach Al Groh did not have a statement.
