George Zimmerman In Custody: Threatened Wife And Father-In-Law With Gun
George Zimmerman was apparently arrested on Monday by Lake Mary Police and is currently being held in custody.
Clickorlando.com broke the news of his arrest in the last hour reporting that Lake Mary police said they were called to an address on Spucewood Road, Florida.
When they arrived at the property they took George Zimmerman into custody after a reported altercation involving a gun.
The Associated Press reported via Twitter that the incident actually involved Zimmerman pulling his weapon on his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, who filed for divorce only yesterday. Her father was also allegedly present.
There have been conflicting reports as to whether Zimmerman was arrested with the most recent reports confirming that he was. It is not clear at this time if the incident is related to the fact that Shellie Zimmerman wishes to divorce her husband.
Steve Bracknell, Lake Mary Police Chief, said that Shellie Zimmerman made an emergency call to the police at around 2 p.m. Monday.
