ORLANDO, FLA.—George Zimmerman’s girlfriend — who authorities said accused him of pointing a shotgun at her — no longer wants him to be prosecuted and wants to resume their relationship, according a new motion.

A sworn statement from Samantha Scheibe was attached to a motion by Zimmerman’s lawyer seeking to modify the conditions of Zimmerman’s bond in his domestic violence case.

In the statement, Scheibe says she felt “intimidated” when police questioned her about the Nov. 18 incident that led to Zimmerman’s arrest. She adds she “may have misspoken.”

“I want to be with George,” Scheibe says in the statement, adding later: “I do not want George Zimmerman charged. I make this decision freely, knowingly and voluntarily,” and without coercion, she says.

Zimmerman is the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted in July of second-degree murder for shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Fla.

Scheibe says she and Zimmerman had an “argument,” but Zimmerman “never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner.”

Zimmerman, 30, was arrested on aggravated assault and other charges, after Scheibe accused him of pointing the shotgun at her, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

She told deputies he also used the gun to break a glass table, then shoved her out of the house and locked the door. Zimmerman is free on $9,000 bail and is living — once again — in hiding.

As a condition for bail, Zimmerman was ordered to have no contact with Scheibe and to stay at least 450 metres away from her home near Apopka, Fla.
