FLORIDA TODAY . February 16, 2009 GAINESVILLE _ Jillian McCarney, the daughter of University of Florida assistant head coach Dan McCarney, was arrested late Saturday night after allegedly assaulting a police officer. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reported that police said McCarney became verbally abusive after an officer arrested her for having a disorderly house. Police claimed she screamed, "Do you know who my dad is? He is Dan McCarney.'' McCarney, who was unavailable for comment on Monday, grew up in Iowa City and played football at the University of Iowa and was a three-year letterman. He captained the 1974 team his senior season. McCarney was the head coach at Iowa State 1995-06. He coached for one season at South Florida before joining the Florida staff last season, coaching primarily the defensive line during the Gators' national championship season. McCarney's name was mentioned for several head coaching vacancies but remains at part of the UF staff. According to the Press-Citizen, Jillian McCarney, 21, faces several charges for the incident. Among those are disorderly house and assault on a peace officer. The paper reported that assaulting an officer is a serious misdemeanor which could carry a year in prison and $1,500 fine. Jillian McCarney allegedly attempted to strike the officer with her left shoulder and kick the officer with her left leg, while continuing to be verbally abusive and threatening violence. Police said she "guaranteed all her charges will be 'dropped' because her name is 'McCarney,' and they have 'a lot of money.'' The Press-Citizen reported that Dan McCarney's father, Patrick, had a long career in law enforcement and was once the Iowa City police chief. _____ Contact Jones at 242-3682 or [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
