Samantha Scheibe, who called 911 in Florida on November 18th to report that George Zimmerman had pointed a shotgun at her, threw her out and locked the door, now says she wants to drop the charges against him so that they can get back together.
Zimmerman was arrested at the scene on charges of Felony Aggravated Assault, Battery and Criminal Mischief, his bail was set at $9,000 and ordered to wear an electronic tracking device. Zimmerman bailed out of jail the next day.
The state can still pursue the domestic violence charges leveled at Zimmerman without Scheibe’s testimony, using other witnesses, police reports as well as the 911 call, but doing so can make the case difficult to prove.
If the state decides to proceed with the case without Scheibe’s testimony for the prosecution, they still have the play-by-play 911 call that was made as the situation progressed at the residence. In that call Scheibe was heard saying, “You point your gun at my fricking face.” The recording continued in the call, “Get out of my house. Do not push me out of my house. Please get out of my house.” After Zimmerman allegedly ousted Scheibe from the house, the 911 call recorded her saying, “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.”
An affidavit was filed in Florida court on Monday by Zimmerman’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub that states that she doesn’t want him charged for the November incident, and asks that the order barring contact between him and her be lifted so that they can have contact with each other. In the affidavit, Scheib refers to Zimmerman as her boyfriend. She also states that “When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated…I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police.”
When responding police went to the residence, they got the house keys from Scheibe then had to push their way through the barricaded door to make contact with Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin that took place in 1012. In the court case that ended this July, Zimmerman’s defense succeeded in showing the court that he had been acting in self defense. Zimmerman was the only one of the two that was armed in that incident, and had ignored 911 orders to break off from making contact with Martin.
