Zimmerman taken into custody after 'threatening wife w/gun and punching father in nose
The London Daily Mail ^ | September 9, 2013 | Laura Collins in FL & Lydia Warren

George Zimmerman was today questioned by police after allegedly threatening his estranged wife with a handgun in an altercation sparked by claims he has been having an affair, MailOnline can reveal.

Friend and key defense witness John Donnelly told MailOnline: 'George has been having an affair with his ex-fiancee. Shellie believes it flared back up after the acquittal.'

Zimmerman was engaged to beautician Veronica Zuazo, who herself filed a domestic violence complaint against him in a messy series of counter complaints that led to their split.

Police were called to the Lake Mary, Florida residence owned by Shellie Zimmerman's parents, David and Machelle Dean, after she made a panicked 911 call at around 2.15pm Monday.

'I'm really really afraid,' Shellie says in the call, claiming Zimmerman punched her father in the nose and threatened to shoot them both. 'I don't know what he's capable of. I'm really, really scared...

Scroll to listen to the 911 call.

'He's in his car and he continually has his hand on his gun. He keeps staying "Step closer". He's just threatening all of us with his firearm. He's going to shoot us.

'He punched my dad in the nose. My dad has a mark on the face. I saw his glasses on the floor.'

Officers said a gun was found at the scene but there were no significant injuries. In the call Shellie requests medical help as she says her father is shaking and could have a heart attack.....

George has a case of angry wife syndrome exacerbated by too many pity parties.

From a similar thread: Here is a twitter link for a reporter from the Orlando Sentinel: https://twitter.com/JeffWeinerOS

Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 5m O'Mara: Going forward, #GeorgeZimmerman and Shellie will have contact "only through their attorneys... they're getting divorced." Jeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 6m

#GeorgeZimmerman attorney O'Mara says "nobody should be facing charges" in today's incident, "emotions are running very, very high." Peter King ‏@PeterKingCBS 23m

The lefties are in orgasmic hysterics, proclaiming GZ guilty and that he should be jailed and this is proof that he instigated the incident with St. Skittles.

Lefties are idiots.

“It also emerged on Monday that the couple had lived at the house throughout the trial, despite Shellie saying in an earlier interview that they had been hiding out in ‘a trailer in the woods’.”

“In reality, they were staying at the $240,000 home, which has a pool and spa in the backyard and two security cameras on its front door.”

Soon to be ex Mrs Z will always have that conviction of perjury hanging on her. She did not have a good atty for that case

Like inheritance, those benefits from a lawsuit might be separate even in marriage. Depends on the state and law where he is.

According to the Fox News report:
[Lake Mary Deputy Chief Colin] Morgan said there were allegations that Zimmerman came to the home and Shellie's father was the aggressor in the incident. Police say Shellie told them that Zimmerman had his hand on his gun and became aggressive, then punched her father.

Police officials later said both Shellie Zimmerman and her father signed statements of non-prosecution.
Probably had to take his hand off his gun to punch dad in the nose, I'd expect.

When I first read about her filing for divorce, the petition included half of future proceeds for any settlement(s) George might receive...how Florida law works, I have no idea.

George probably has a serious case of post traumatic stress disorder.

Finally someone says it. He has a case of survivors guilt or something. He is determined to ruin himself somehow. I hope they get him some help....Not quite to the necessity of Amanda Bynes but getting close. His behavior is destructive. Of course most here would rather ignore the situation like they do with most alcoholics and other destructive lifestyles....until the person dies and then they say, “Oh I guess I should have done more.....” happens all the time.

This looks pretty suspicious

True. What the hell is Zimmerman at the Father in Law’s house? He and the wife are getting divorce so he does not need to be there anymore.

And today in the U.S., 130 million lawful gun owners threatened no one.

GZ needs to go to a spy store and get a spy cam to wear 24/7. Video is powerful especially if someone tries to set one up for legal trouble

True. So what? Zimmerman’s lawyer ran over to the house and she is not pressing charges. Look, Zimmerman has been through hell and back and perhaps a break would do him some good. He is obviously seeking attention.

Hey, Yo! Georgie Boy!

Take a note from the book of Bernie, (Goetz): DISAPPEAR, LAY LOW, MAKE NO WAVES, remove yourself from the public eye, don’t speed your car, don’t drink hootch and don’t mess with messy women.

It is FAR more fruitful.

And stay away from women who NEED their 15 minutes of fame.

And Oh, just ONE more thing: STFU!

So you’ve been through a similar incident where everyone from the president, the attorney general, dozens of congressmen and women, the entire international news media (with a handful of exceptions), Hollywood, almost every black person in the world and many millions of others were calling for your conviction and/or murder? Tell us what that was like, man.

He is an idiot, should be on the beach in the Philippines, not interacting with his nutty wife and in-laws.

He has proven by his repeated altercations with law enforcement after being acquitted that he is a moron, and will either be incarcerated or injured/killed in the not too distant future.

Of course, he could always rent a brain.
