Lake Mary police arrested a Winter Springs man Friday on charges related to a shooting involving George Zimmerman earlier this week.

Matthew Apperson, 35, turned himself in Friday evening, police spokeswoman Bianca Gillett said.

Apperson was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a deadly missile into an occupied conveyance.

"After conducting numerous interviews throughout the week, detectives determined that Mr. Apperson did intentionally fire his weapon into the vehicle occupied by George Zimmerman without provocation," Gillett said in a statement.

Apperson is being held on no bond, Seminole County Sheriff's spokeswoman Kristen Bentsen said.

Apperson is accused of firing into a car Zimmerman was driving Monday. Zimmerman had only minor injuries from glass cutting his face.

Zimmerman and Apperson clashed twice in September. Both times, Apperson declined to press charges against him.

After Monday's incident, Apperson told police that Zimmerman pointed a gun at him and said, "I'm going to kill you," a police report shows.

Apperson said that's why he fired one shot into the car, according to the police report. He would not answer more questions.

On Wednesday, Zimmerman told a much different version of the story. Zimmerman told police that he was making a U-turn on West Lake Mary Boulevard when Apperson drove up behind him and yelled, "You remember me, you fat [expletive]?" through his open passenger's side window.

Man Claims He Shot At George Zimmerman In Self-Defense

He hasn't.

Zimmerman can barely go more than a few months without making the news again -- for more brushes with the law, for his artwork or -- most recently -- for getting shot at on a Florida road.

Here's a breakdown of Zimmerman's time in the public spotlight since Martin's death:

A Florida jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in Martin's killing in February 2012. Brother Robert Zimmerman Jr. told CNN that George Zimmerman "is going to be looking around his shoulder for the rest of his life."

His seclusion didn't last long. Four days after his acquittal, Zimmerman and another man helped a family get out of an overturned SUV in Florida, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said.

"They got everyone out of the car," a 911 caller reported. About a minute later, the caller said, it looked like the vehicle was catching fire.

A few weeks after his acquittal, Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in Forney, Texas.

Zimmerman was apparently traveling with a gun. Dashcam video showed him and a police officer talking briefly before the officer told him to shut his glove compartment

"Don't play with your firearm, OK?" the officer said. Zimmerman was given a warning.

Shellie Zimmerman pleaded guilty to perjury after claiming her family was indigent during a bond hearing for her husband. Prosecutors said the family actually had about $135,000 at the time.

Zimmerman flagged down an officer shortly after the incident, police said.

At this time, the investigation has proven that George Zimmerman was not the shooter, Lake Mary Police Department spokeswoman Bianca Gillette said.

Zimmerman was hit in the face with glass and debris and has since been released from Central Florida Regional Hospital, according to police.

He walked normally into the ambulance, so he wasnt being helped or nothing, said witness Ricardo Berrare. "They actually backed up the ambulance next to his driver side so he could walk into the door."

Chopper 2 video showed a bullet hole in the passenger window of the vehicle Zimmerman was in.

Story highlights George Zimmerman was injured from broken glass after a bullet flew through his truck The other man involved said Zimmerman had waved a gun, and he acted in self-defense

Zimmerman and Apperson have had tense encounters before. In September, Apperson accused the former neighborhood watch volunteer of threatening him in what Zimmerman's lawyer described as a "quasi-road rage incident."

Two days later, police stopped Zimmerman after Apperson called 911 to say he thought he saw Zimmerman near his office.

No charges were filed in either of those cases. But on Monday, Apperson allegedly fired a shot into Zimmerman's truck in Lake Mary, Florida. It's just the latest case involving Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012.

Exactly what happened Monday depends on which side you ask.

Zimmerman's attorney Don West said a man driving behind his client was flashing his lights and honking his horn at him.

"The man pulled up next to George yelling obscenities at him," West told CNN.

Zimmerman recognized Apperson as someone he had a problem with several months ago, the attorney said.

"He rolled his window up and he decided to get away, not to provoke it whatsoever," West said. "And the fellow followed him -- followed him around the U-turn and then pulled up to him and shot at him."

The bullet went through Zimmerman's side window and almost hit him in the head, West said. Zimmerman was hit by glass from the window, but not the bullet. He was taken to a hospital for minor injuries and then released, police said.
