GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida finally has some news on the nine players that were suspended indefinitely as part of an alleged scheme that involved the misuse of school funds.

All nine of the suspended players have have had felony charges of fraud stemming from the case recommended against them via sworn complaint affidavits, including star receiver Antonio Callaway and running back Jordan Scarlett.

The Alachua County court system was updating and inputting the case information into its database on Monday morning, and coach Jim McElwain was unaware charges had been recommended when he met with the media for his weekly press conference.

The case now rests in the hands of the State Attorney's Office, which will take time to review the information submitted by the police and determine whether to formally follow up with charges. Some players may be able to qualify for pre-trial diversions.

Defensive end Jordan Smith faces five third-degree felony counts stemming from the case, while Callaway, Scarlett, defensive tackle Richerd Desir Jones, defensive end Keivonnis Davis, linebackers James Houston and Ventrell Miller and receiver Rick Wells all face two charges. Offensive tackle Kadeem Telfort faces 30 charges.

According to the sworn complaint affadavits, on Aug. 15 the University of Florida Police Department responded to a possible fraud case it had been alerted to by the UF Bookstore, launching the investigation into the scheme by the Florida players.

On July 16, Callaway added $1,970 to his bookstore debit account using the stolen credit card information of a man in California. A day later, Callaway bought an Apple MacBook Pro that also came with Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones.

The California man later disputed the charge by Callaway, and the UF Bookstore began getting disputed charges in an unusual volume as others also made purchases. The investigation turned up nine players involved in various purchases using several different stolen credit card numbers to fund their debit accounts.

Scarlett involved his girlfriend in the scheme, telling her she had money on her bookstore debit account that "was from an agent in New York," according to an affidavit.

He purchased a MacBook Pro and Beats headphones as well. The order for the computer was canceled before it could be shipped due to a disputed charge, and Scarlett's girlfriend returned the headphones, settling his account. Callaway, meanwhile, repaid his fraudulent transaction by paying $2,000 in cash.

Scarlett spoke to UFPD on Aug. 30, the day he was suspended from the team, and said "he made a mistake because he thought he could get away with it," according to an affidavit.

Most of the players made similar transactions at the UF Bookstore. Telfort, the player facing the most charges, made several fraudulent transactions that were mostly for food delivery of various low-cost items, like Funyons and gummi bears, from local establishments or convenience stores.

The affidavits reveal that Miller, Callaway, Scarlett, Desir-Jones, Houston and Smith have settled their accounts with the UF Bookstore. It's unclear whether Wells, Telfort or Davis have yet.

It is unclear how the players obtained the various stolen credit card numbers and information.

Asked whether felony charges would change their status -- all of the players have been suspended indefinitely -- McElwain responded with the following:

"You're darn right," McElwain said. "You know you're asking me something I don't even know anything about. I don't know if that's fair. You asked me a question. I mean I'm not sure you'd be sitting here with a felony."

The third-year coach later said he would take some time to sit down and fully evaluate the situation.
