George Zimmerman's Girlfriend Has Change of Heart, Wants Charges Dropped
It looks like George Zimmerman may get off Scot-free yet again after his girlfriend reversed course on her decision to press charges against him for allegedly trashing her house and waving a gun in her face.
Newly obtained court documents show that Samantha Scheibe, 27, has demanded that Zimmerman's charges and his no-contact order be dropped, effective immediately.
"When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated," Scheibe said in a sworn statement dated December 6. "I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police."
Scheibe goes on to claim that Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner," and insisted she "want[s] to be with George."
Scheibe's affidavit flies in the face of what she told a 911 dispatcher during the November 18 incident.
"I need police right now," she exclaimed during the taped phone call. "He's in my house breaking all my shit because I asked him to leave. He's got a freaking gun, breaking all my stuff right now."
Zimmerman was subsequently arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
He was released on his own recognizance after paying a $9,000 bond.
A search warrant released the following week showed that Zimmerman was packing a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle, three handguns, and over 100 rounds of ammunition when he visited Scheibe's house.
