Man Accused of ‘Intentionally’ Shooting at George …

A man was arrested in Florida today and accused of "intentionally" shooting at George Zimmerman's car earlier this week, police said.

Detectives said they determined Matthew Apperson "did intentionally fire his weapon into the vehicle occupied by George Zimmerman without provocation," the Lake Mary Police Department said in a news release this evening.

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, police said.

Apperson turned himself into the police early this evening and was taken to the John E. Polk Correctional Facility, police said.

According to an arrest report released by the Lake Mary police, Apperson "has exhibited unusual behaviors" and "It appears that Apperson has a fixation on Zimmerman."

Apperson's attorney, Mark NeJame, said in a statement tonight, "the case will proceed through the criminal justice system appropriately and ultimately a determination will be made as what truly happened. Mr. Apperson will continue not to comment until such time as it may be deemed appropriate."

NeJame said "bond is set at $35,000 and his release has been arranged."
