GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A second player from Florida's 2007 football team has been arrested for murder.

Former safety Tony Joiner was arrested Saturday in Lake Wales, Fla., and charged with the second-degree murder of his wife in 2016. The case had gone unsolved for more than three years after the death of Heyzel Obando, who was found dead in her apartment complex on Valentine's Day in 2016.

The News-Press reported Joiner's arrest on Saturday evening.

According to the News-Press, Obando's death was ruled a homicide two months after her body was found, but police hadn't made an arrest in the case until Saturday. Joiner had been previously held in the Lee County Jail on a violation of probation charge just a month after Obando's death, and court records showed he was arrested twice for beating Obando.

Joiner is the second player from Urban Meyer's 2007 team to be arrested and charged with murder.

Former Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez was indicted on murder charges in June 2013 for the murder of Odin Lloyd about a mile from his house in North Attleboro, Mass. In May 2014, he was again charged with murder for a double homicide that took place in July 2012.

Both Joiner and Hernandez had minor legal run-ins while in Gainesville.

Joiner, who was a team captain in 2007, was arrested just prior to the team's game against No. 1 LSU that year for breaking into an impound lot where his girlfriend's car was being held around 5 a.m.

Hernandez, meanwhile, was involved in an alleged fight with a bouncer outside of a Gainesville bar in which he sucker-punched the bouncer and ruptured his eardrum. He was not charged in that case.

For Florida, the news of Joiner's arrest for murder further casts a dark, dark light on a period of time that the football program achieved all-time highs on the football field.

The Gators won national titles in both 2006 and 2008 under Meyer's watch, but were constantly in the headlines for off-the-field incidents. The headlines have only gotten worse with time.

Joiner was a former recruit of coach Ron Zook, elevated to a team captain under Meyer's stead.
