Police: George Zimmerman Involved In Florida Road Rage Incident
George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the 2012 murder of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin, has been linked to a recent 911 call involving a road rage incident in Lake Mary, Florida.
A man reportedly told police via a 911 call on Tuesday that a man in a truck had followed him and asked him at a stoplight: "Why are you pointing a finger at me?" The man in the truck, who the victim identified as George Zimmerman, then reportedly followed the man into a Circle K parking lot. When the unidentified man called 911, Zimmerman reportedly left before police arrived.
The man claims that while in the Circle K parking lot, Zimmerman asked him "Do you know who I am?" before saying, "I'll [expletive] kill you."
The man then called 911 a few days later to tell police that Zimmerman was reportedly waiting in his truck in front of the man's work. The man neglected to press charges, however, and therefore Zimmerman was not arrested.
Officer Bianca Gillett, a police spokeswoman for Lake Mary, told local WSVN-TV that the man involved with Zimmerman in the recent road rage incident called police a second time after seeing Zimmerman's truck parked outside of his work. "He was in fear of having encountered the vehicle a second time," Gillett said.
Since his acquittal of the 2012 death of unarmed teen Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman has had multiple run-ins with law enforcement in Florida and beyond. The 30-year-old has received multiple speeding tickets, been involved in a domestic abuse incident with his wife, and saved a family from an SUV incident on the freeway.
