George Zimmerman's girlfriend Samantha Scheibe revealed in a newly released video the details of her violent argument with the former neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted of murder charges earlier this year.
Florida police received separate calls from both Scheibe and Zimmerman in November, reporting that a fight had escalated into violence. Scheibe said Zimmerman pointed a long-barreled shotgun at her face, then used the firearm to smash a glass table in her living room.
But weeks later, Scheibe said she wouldn't press charges against the man who pushed her out of her Sanford, Fla. home, then shoved furniture against the door to ensure she couldn't re-enter. She stated that she'd felt pressure by police officers to exaggerate her story, and wanted to stay with Zimmerman.
In the video publicized Tuesday, Scheibe is seen sitting with a police detective, explaining how Zimmerman had wrapped his hands around her neck and tried to choke her in the heat of an argument a week and a half prior. The investigating officer asked why Scheibe didn't alert authorities at the time, to which she responded: "Because I feel like he always gets off, to be honest."
She went on to detail the fight that prompted the entire ordeal, saying that she told Zimmerman he had to leave her house. He became angry, and started packing up his belongings-including an AR15 assault rifle and Kel-Tec pump shotgun, the Daily Mail reported.
"As I started to move his stuff out, he got agitated," Scheibe said in the video. "He went to the rifle bag, he unlocked it, immediately pulled out the first gun in the bag, which is on top, which is the Kel-Tec. He pointed it at me for a second and said, 'Do you really want to do this?' Because I told him that I'd call the cops. He was trying to scare me out of not calling."
Following the argument, subsequent media storm, and eventual dismissal of charges, Zimmerman and Scheibe were photographed picking up the 30-year-old Florida resident's belongings from the police station, smiling and strolling through the parking lot.
