George Zimmerman on the Run: Wife Unable to Serve Divorce Papers to Husband in Hiding

Only a bit more than a week after an incident involving a 911 call and a broken iPad George Zimmerman appears to be on the run from his wife, Shellie. Or at least on the run from her lawyers as it has been reported that they have been unable to serve Zimmerman with divorce papers because he cannot be found, according to TMZ.

Shellie's lawyer told the gossip website that they have been unable to track down the infamous Zimmerman and do not have any idea how to get a hold of him. Sources close to George Zimmerman told TMZ that they have been in contact with him and that he is safe but they do not know where he is.

Zimmerman became infamous after shooting and killing unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in what was determined to be an act of self-defense. Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder in the case and the verdict was met with a great deal of outrage and controversy.

Since his acquittal Zimmerman has failed to keep a low profile as he has been pulled over for traffic violations, assisted a family after their car overturned and then his wife went public with her intent to file for divorce.

Shortly after that there was an altercation that led to Shellie Zimmerman calling 911 after George allegedly punched her father in the nose and threatened everyone with his firearm. No charges were filed at the time because none of the people involved wished to press charged. Police have been attempted to retrieve a video from an iPad that was broken during the altercation to determine whether or not domestic violence charges should be filed.

As the police investigation is ongoing Robert Zimmerman, the brother of George, has called for the police chief of Lake Mary, Fla., Steve Bracknell, to recuse himself from the case after Bracknell agreed that George was "a Sandy Hook waiting to happen," according to the Daily Caller.

"Even a so-called private email to a resident could be viewed as an endorsement of violence toward George or his family," Robert Zimmerman told the Daily Caller. "Public officials, particularly those in command of law enforcement agencies, should be mindful of whose delusions they might be encouraging. It appears a person's surname is now the means by which a law enforcement agency determines if a family will or will not be afforded equal protection under the law."
