George Zimmerman Questioned by Police in Domestic Violence Incident With Shellie

September 9, 2013 by tamaratattles 40 Comments

Zimmerman_Trial_genericGeorge Zimmerman is currently being held by police for questioning in a domestic violence incident that occurred today, presumably as Shellie attempted to enlist the help of her father to move out of their marital home. It sounds like a knife was wielded, a gun was present, and threats were made. As this situation is ongoing, nothing concrete is known. Click through for ABCNews version of information….

According to ABC:

George Zimmerman is being questioned by police after a domestic incident today with his wife, Shellie, and her father, that involved a gun, according to police.

Zimmerman is being held at the home of a relative after the incident, which involved Shellie Zimmerman and her father Colin Morgan, police in Lake Mary, Fla., told ABC News.

“There was some kind of a domestic, we know that with his wife and father-in-law. Apparently there were some weapons involved and threats,” the deputy police chief in Lake Mary told ABC News.

Zimmerman has not been charged with any crime.

Shellie Zimmerman recently announced plans to divorce her husband, who was acquitted in July on murder charges related to the 2012 death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

Her attorney told ABC News that Zimmerman pulled a knife on her today after she discovered a firearm in the house they shared. He then pulled a gun on her and her father after a verbal altercation went bad, according to attorney Kelly Sims.

George Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, did not immediately respond to request for comment.

    Shellie Zimmerman’s brother, D.J. Dean, talked with Channel 9’s Tim Barber following the alleged altercation. Dean said ever since the acquittal, George Zimmerman has seemed “different.”

    “He definitely does seem different,” said Dean. “Before the incident, he probably was the nicest guy I ever met. I think the guilt and self-hatred got to him.”

      He should hate himself for putting it upon himself to murder a person, and should be embarrassed. He put this upon himself.

    Shellie’s 911 call said He’s in his car trying to close the garage door on me, his hand is on his gun. He punched my dad in the face, He broke my iPad with a pocket knife…

    The pretty house appears to be Shellie’s parents house. George had come over to get his things according to HLN.

    In a 911 call released by police, Shellie Zimmerman tells a dispatcher that her husband had “his hand on his gun and he keeps saying step closer.”

    “Step closer and what?” a dispatcher asks.

    “And he’s going to shoot us,” Shellie Zimmerman replies. She goes on to say that her husband punched her father, leaving a mark on his face.

    “He’s shaking, he says he feels like he’s going to have a heart attack, his nose might be broken,” she said, describing her father.

    “I’m really, really afraid,” Shellie Zimmerman said. “I don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m really, really scared.”

    At another point in the call, she warned her father to stay away from her husband: “Dad get inside the house, George might start shooting at us.”

    According to Lake Mary police Chief Steve Bracknell, Zimmerman’s wife Shellie Zimmerman called police and said that her husband had made threats to her family “with his hand on his gun.”

    Some reports say Shellie and her father are not pressing charges… not sure they are credible. Off to check.

    Minutes away from hearing if GZ will be arrested. Shellie refused to talk to police without her atty. Eventually it seems atty came, and Shellie recently left. GZ is still there with police, his atty is on scene and will give statement soon. Standby.

    It would not be the first time that someone in a divorce accused the other of something heinous that did not really happen. Maybe that is why she and her dad are not pressing charges. Or maybe they are scared of him. Who knows – NOBODY KNOWS BUT THEM.

        Okay, I have been trying to nap but could not so I was sort of thinking about this. Here are some things I am not sure I have already included.

        I initially heard that Shellie was removing her things from their home but HLN kept saying it was where her Dad lives. As it turns out it was where George and Shellie were living together. She was moving out and brought her Dad with her. It appears she didn’t call him because well, she was living there up until a few weeks ago or so.

        911 call sounds believable. She seems afraid for herself and her father. Asks for medical treatment her Dad.

        There were two 911 calls. One the last one, once the two are inside, Shellie’s Dad can be heard saying, there is someone in there. They were talking about inside the house, they were in the garage from the pool side. Shellie says, OMG! There is a woman in there! Father says OMG! OMG. Phone goes dead.

        This is my conjecture from here. Shellie hangs up on 911 and calls her atty and says that MF is cheating on me and I just saw her in the house. Maybe she knew who it was. Maybe the woman doesn’t know she is caught. Who knows. But she calls her atty who tells her not to speak another word to anyone until he gets there. The attorney gets there she refuses to speak to police as does her father probably on advice of the attorney. As I am typing they showed the woman on JVM. She has on a long dress or nightgown. She looks terrified by all the helicopters. LOL. I doubt she will be back.

        Not sure what will happen next. Will Shellie and her father talk to police? Will the prosecution decide to testify after reviewing surveillance videos?

        I don’t know. I just want to know where the blonde bimbo came from.

    At least Shellie didn’t get shot, yet. Course, she didn’t slam George’s head against a cement sidewalk while being armed with a metal can in her hoodie-pocket like dope-head Trayvon did. Tread lightly Shellie.

      Here is TMZ’s version

      *Police Chief Steve Bracknell* tells TMZ, he’s frustrated* Shellie Zimmerman * changed her story. She now says George did not have his hand on a gun in a threatening manner while arguing with her father.

      Chief Bracknell says of Zimmerman, “The guy just can’t stay out of the news” — referring to the Trayvon Martin killing, speeding tickets and now this. Bracknell says, “You’d think he’d get the heck out of Dodge.”

      We’re told Shellie recanted her story after talking to her lawyer. The Chief said because of her flip-flopping, “There was not enough to affect an arrest, unfortunately.”

      Bracknell seems concerned that Zimmerman is bent on causing trouble, saying, “It’s smoke, smoke smoke. Is there a fire somewhere? Lord knows.”

      We asked him if he’d feel safe if Zimmerman was his next door neighbor. The Chief was clear … “I would not want to be the neighbor of George Zimmerman.”

    Most domestic violence altercations end with one party deciding NOT to press charges. It doesn’t mean the altercation didn’t happen. DV can’t happen without psychological bullying.

    What’s the deal with this guy and guns everywhere he goes? Can’t he just live like the rest of us? That shows a problem within him to me. Does he want to be a police officer and can’t, so he is living out some kind of fantasy? does he think he is Josey Wales? does he think he is a wise guy? After murdering that kid, you’d think he’d slow his roll a tad. Now this. Sounds like this is another mess. Affairs, punching people, bodyguards, what next? Jeez Louise!

    And another thing, what does it say or look like when GZ’s own atty (Mark O.) is on tv saying that GZ DID have a gun (but it was secured in the holster and blah blah) and then the Lake Mary PD is on tv saying that he DIDN’T have a gun (at least when they searched him) and that they DIDN’T search his car. Somebody is lying, and meanwhile GZ is still playing with the police.SMH

    The media reports were wrong, as they were all wrong, or made up, in the prior case about Zimmerman. There was no gun found on him or in the house. Shellie told the police when they got there that she never saw a gun. But the damage to George is done, once again, by media lies. ( and Shellie’s) Sounds like Shellie filing for divorce could be the best thing that ever happened to George.
