LAKE MARY, FLORIDA

The estranged wife of a former neighborhood watchman acquitted in the shooting death of a black teenager called police officers Monday, saying her husband threatened her and her father with a gun.

Shellie Zimmerman called police shortly after 2 p.m. Monday, said Police Chief Steve Bracknell. In the call, she said George Zimmerman punched her father in the nose, grabbed an iPad out of her hand and smashed it and threatened them both with a gun.

Shellie Zimmerman, who has filed for divorce, initially told an emergency dispatcher that her husband had his hand on his gun as he sat in his car outside the home. She said she was scared because she wasn't sure what Zimmerman was capable of doing. But hours later she changed her story and said she never saw a firearm, said Bracknell.

For the time being, "domestic violence can't be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn't see a firearm," Bracknell said.

"We didn't find a gun," Lake Mary police spokesman Zach Hudson said late Monday night. "We didn't find anything that indicated he had a gun on his person."

Hudson said Zimmerman was released from investigative detention at around 6:30 p.m. and "he just walked back into the house."

George Zimmerman was not arrested, Bracknell said. He said the estranged husband and wife blamed each other for starting the fight but that Shellie Zimmerman would not press charges. Her father also declined to press charges, the police chief said.

Shellie Zimmerman left the house, which is owned by her parents, after being questioned by police. George Zimmerman remained there into early evening and his attorney denied any wrongdoing by his client. Both had been staying in the home until she moved out.

Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said his client never threatened his estranged wife and her father with a gun and never punched his father-in-law. Shellie Zimmerman had collected most of her belongings Saturday from the house. But she had returned unexpectedly Monday to gather the remaining items. Emotions got out of control, but neither side is filing charges against the other, O'Mara said.

Shellie Zimmerman said in a divorce petition filed last week that she and her husband separated a month after Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last July in Sanford, just a few miles away from Lake Mary. Zimmerman's acquittal led to protests nationwide.

Last month, Shellie Zimmerman, 26, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor perjury charge for lying about the couple's finances during a bail hearing following her husband's arrest after Martin's shooting. She was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. Her husband did not attend the sentencing hearing in the Sanford courtroom.

George Zimmerman, 29, said he acted in self-defense when he killed Martin and the polarizing case opened up national discussions on self-defense laws and race. Martin was black. Zimmerman has a white father and Hispanic mother.

Zimmerman has been involved with a domestic case at least once before. In 2005, Zimmerman's former fiancee filed for a restraining order against Zimmerman, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman responded by requesting a restraining order against his then-fiancee.

Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has gotten a speeding ticket in Florida and was pulled over on suspicion of speeding on a highway near Dallas but not ticketed.

Yeah...Once again Jank has the "egg on the face" syndrome...

Not surprising.

 

But, then again, Jank IS amusing.

 

"Ultra LibTard" comes to mind.

Much like OJ, these folks whether they are guilty or innocent are put under a tremendous amount of stress and watched under a microscope. If the authorities want them they will get them.  Look at the doctor in Huntsville whose son shot a kid at school.  He is now being charged with Medicaid theft...oh but wait, turns out they were wrong, however it still costs him a ton of money to defend himself.  This all came about because of the increased scrutiny that comes with this type of stress.  Like Jesus told the Pharisees, "let those among you without sin, cast the first stone".....and perhaps the most profound of statements ...."there, but by the grace of God, go I".

Attacking your father in law, destroying your wifes property, and threatening them will also get the attention of law enforcement. No matter who you are. He is not being picked on. He has a history of violence. It will eventually catch up with him. I just hate that we can do nothing but watch him as he continues on this path of destruction. 

 

God's grace has no bearing on my actions teyates. I would never find myself in the situation George Zimmerman is in. I'm not a violent person and I would never stalk anyone through my neighborhood with a gun strapped to my side. 

 

I have no sympathy for Zimmerman, I do have sympathy with those he comes in contact with.

Yeah, George is in good company. Phil Spector, Ike Turner, Chris Brown, Bobby Brown, Charlie Sheen...all of them I am sure are just good guys who have been harassed by the media.

Please let us know your address and maybe you can take the place of someone who doesn't want their house broken into to/family traumatized.  I bet if a half dozen houses on your street had been broken into you would change your tune.   It's pretty convenient playing the liberal dingbat when your life and property aren't on the line.

Yep.  All harassed by the media and, except for Zimmerman, deservedly so based on their convictions.

 

Other than being accused and accusations dropped, what has Zimmerman done to deserve their, or your, attention?

 

Men should not hit women.  Women should not lie about being hit either.

But , if he had his gun with him , wouldn't all you people be for whatever he does ?

 

Yep, news helicopters, satellite vans all over the place, front page news during the Syria debacle and this the statement from the police:

 

"We did not find a gun, did not locate a weapon," said Zach Hudson, public  information officer with the Lake Mary Police Department.  "Nobody ever saw  a gun. A gun is not part of this story."

 

Read the story - looks like the wife's story is being questioned regarding multiple comments.  She told dispatcher he was in his car when police arrived and she was afraid he was going to start shooting, yet the police dispute this and say he was outside in the yard and co-operated fully.  She said it looked like he broke her fathers nose, police said he didn't appear to have any visible injuries.  It also says he was living in his father in laws home during the divorce (where the issue occurred). 

 

I wonder if Zimmerman has a life insurance policy and she was looking for a possible shootout with police?

 

Either way, seems like the press, as well as our own anti Zimmerman crowd, may have jumped the gun just a bit.

From the description of the incident, there was no firearm and little evidence he actually committed any violent acts.  His wife lied about that.  Its a rather common ploy and could have gotten him killed by the police. You and the rest of the left would have cheered to see him gunned down, unarmed, by the police. 

Here is A point to be made on a journey to the truth not from the truth.

  It is rarely a person affected with Zimmerman’s personality defect will recognize it in themselves as they see Zimmerman as the norm.  Like Zimmerman they have ‘walking around liberties and gun carrying rights but are incapable of distinguishing between good behavior and the imagined authority to do harm to others on a whim. It shall be called the “Zimmerman Paradox”.

   Comes now this list of posters, affected by this very paradox who think sensibility and accurate reckoning of the situation on the part of Jank should be abandoned and replaced by mental property conclusions of the anonymous rogue lunatic.

    Obviously there is a ‘nest’ of those who swarm at the slight indication of sanity.  A shred of it seems to trigger the pheromone signaling an attack to the front of an oncoming freight train loaded with truth.
