Jail records show that Kitna was booked at 3:20 p.m. Wednesday on charges of child pornography possession with intent to promote.
Kitna, a redshirt sophomore, appeared in four games during the 2022 season for the Gators.
He has been suspended indefinitely by the Gators, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

"I’m going to tell you, the last probably two weeks he’s really grown up a lot," Napier said, according to 247 Sports.
"All the guy does is throw completions in practice and that’s what he did in practice," Napier continued. "Two Thursdays ago, he was 100% completions in practice. I don’t know if a guy’s ever done that. For the most part, the ball went where it was supposed to go today."
Jon Kitna played for 14 years in the NFL with four teams, twice throwing for more than 4,000 yards in a season with the Detroit Lions.
