What you are contemplating is unethical and probably illegal and your now ex-tenant can probably sue you for treble damages and he/she will probably win.
You cannot use monies given for one reason for another reason. You cannot use the security deposit for unpaid rent. In some states you can be sued for damage, three times the amount withheld.
