WCCO News reports Ge'Shun Harris was dismissed from the Gophers on Thursday by head coach Jerry Kill.
The dismissal is a result of credit card fraud charges against Harris for allegedly taking a stranger's bag at the Minneapolis airport and making several purchases with a card he found inside, FOX 9 reports.
Criminal charges were filed against Harris in Ramsey County Court Thursday in connection with the January incident, WCCO reports.
Once the football program had knowledge of the case, Harris was immediately dismissed, according to WCCO.
"Every member of our team is well aware of our expectations of them and how we enforce our team policies," Kill said in a statement.
Harris faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted, WCCO reports.
Harris is scheduled to appear in court on April 4, FOX 9 reports.
