George Zimmerman Speeding, Pulled Over With Gun In Car



Less than a month after being acquitted of second-degree murder charges related to his killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman was reportedly caught speeding Wednesday, with a gun in the glove compartment of his vehicle. The incident took place in the town of Forney, Tex., TMZ reports.

Zimmerman, who informed police that the weapon was in the car shortly after being pulled over, was asked where he was going, to which he responded, "nowhere in particular," according to the site.

CBS News reports that, during the traffic stop, which occurred at 12:54 p.m., Zimmerman also asked the officer if he recognized him from television.

This is the second time Zimmerman has been in the news since his trial ended on July 13.

Three days later, Zimmerman reportedly came to the aid of a family trapped under an overturned SUV on a Florida highway, pulling two children and their parents to safety.

The Huffington Post reached out to the Forney Police Department for comment, but they were not immediately available.

FORNEY -- Recently-acquitted Florida murder suspect George Zimmerman was pulled over in Forney Sunday and let go with a warning for speeding after he was found to be clear of warrants, News 8 has confirmed.

As first reported by inForney.com, Zimmerman was pulled over at 12:43 p.m. westbound on Highway 80 just past FM 548.

According to Forney City Manager Brian Brooks, Zimmerman told the officer he had a gun in the glove compartment at the beginning of the stop. After he told him about the firearm, the officer asked where Zimmerman was heading, to which he responded, "Nowhere in particular."

According to the inForney.com report, when the officer asked why, Zimmerman responded: "You didn't see my name?"

The officer checked Zimmerman for outstanding warrants, and when he came back clear, the officer asked Zimmerman to slow down and sent him off with a warning.

Brooks said police were not certain how fast Zimmerman was traveling and that it was a routine traffic stop. The name of the officer involved was not released.

The cop didn't have a clue about him being a world class celebrity.

Speed trap!

Yes, he is going nowhere in particular.

more true than he probably realized,,,,,

That's the best answer anyone can give.

Should be a crime to ask even that question.

lol... i used to live off of 548 in Royce City, about 20 miles from there... forney cops suck, too...

Headed for the border!

Actually, he probably did realize it, which is why he said it.

well, there is 'going nowhere in particular' that refers to actual intended physical destination

and there is 'going nowhere in particular' that refers to ones path in life,,,


who knows what he realized, but the question asked of him was in relation to physical destination

Ah ha!
He was headed to Taco Bell!

Brooks said police were not certain how fast Zimmerman was traveling and that it was a routine traffic stop. The name of the officer involved was not released.

interesting......just say n

Same cop being investigated for putting photo of his license on the net.
Hope Big Z wins a big suit.

The cop at first didn't realize he pulled over a national hero and when he did he let him go!

That is the right answer. When you have a price on your head you don't tell anyone what your locations are, including the police.
