eorge Zimmerman yelled at a female employee, used racial slurs and was “belligerent” toward a deputy before he was removed from a bar in Sanford, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG-TV says a deputy was originally called to the Corona Cigar Company Wednesday night for a possible incident of battery involving a woman in Zimmerman’s group, but while the deputy was in the back reviewing surveillance video with the manager, a disturbance erupted at the front of the bar.
The deputy found Zimmerman yelling at a waitress, according to the offense report. Zimmerman’s friends were attempting to calm him down.
The female employee told the deputy she was trying to collect the group’s bill, but Zimmerman snatched the credit card from her hand and began yelling at her, deputies said.
The manager told the deputy the incident was one of several in which Zimmerman had been involved at the bar and he wanted to have him removed for trespassing, according to the offense report.
Before Zimmerman left the bar, he told the manager, “I didn’t know you were a (racial expletive) lover,” deputies said. There were also reports of Zimmerman’s friends using racial slurs toward other customers throughout the night.
