George Zimmerman has been charged with assault after his girlfriend
called deputies to the home where they were living and claimed he
pointed a shotgun at her during an argument, authorities said.
The girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, called 911 early afternoon Monday
(local time) to say that Zimmerman had smashed a glass table, threatened
her with the shotgun and ultimately pushed her out of the house,
according to an arrest report. After pushing her out, Zimmerman
barricaded the door with furniture and refused to leave, saying that he
would talk to police by phone, authorities said.
The arrest was the latest legal problem for Zimmerman since he was
acquitted last summer of criminal charges in the fatal shooting of
Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen. The trial stoked a discussion on
racial profiling across the country.
"You point your gun at my fricking face," Samantha Scheibe is heard
telling Zimmerman on a 911 call. "Get out of my house. Do not push me
out of my house. Please get out of my house."
Seconds later, she told the dispatcher, "You kidding me? He pushed
me out of my house and locked me out. ... He knows how to do this. He
knows how to play this game."
