The Miami/Ft. Lauderdale TV station on Friday quoted Lake Mary police officers as saying that a man called 911 and accused Zimmerman of threatening to kill him during an alleged road rage encounter this week.
The same person called 911 the following day, claiming that Zimmerman was waiting for him at work and that he feared for his safety. The report quotes police as saying Zimmerman acknowledged to officers that he had exchanged words with the man the previous day.
The man did not want to press charges, according to WSVN.
Lake Mary police had two previous encounters with Zimmerman last year, once when his estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, told police he had threatened her and her father. She later declined to press charges.
In a second incident, Zimmerman was arrested and accused of domestic violence by a girlfriend, who later changed her story and dropped charges.
