Matthew Apperson, the man accused of shooting at George Zimmerman Monday, has been arrested.
Lake Mary police arrested Apperson Friday on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and one count of firing a deadly missile into a vehicle.
In the arrest report, officers said Apperson appeared to be fixated with Zimmerman.
The arrest report stated that Apperson told the cops that Zimmerman pulled a gun at him while he was driving and said ‘I’m going to kill you.”

Apperson's attorney Mark NeJame issued the following statement:
