George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted by a jury less than three weeks ago, in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen, was pulled over for speeding in North Texas on Sunday, CBS DFW reports.
According to the station, Zimmerman was armed when officers pulled him over on Highway 80 in Forney, east of Dallas.
The officer reportedly did not recognize Zimmerman, who was driving a Honda pickup. Zimmerman told the officer he was armed and was then told to put the weapon in his glove compartment, according to the station. The officer then told Zimmerman he could go on his way if he had no criminal issues.
