George Zimmerman's stalking case to resume in Seminole County

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — George Zimmerman has a pre-trial conference set for Wednesday in a stalking case against him.

Seminole County deputies said Zimmerman sent threatening messages to someone working on a documentary about Trayvon Martin.

A sheriff's report said an investigator, Dennis Warren, contacted Zimmerman in September on behalf of Michael Gasparro, who is making a documentary on Trayvon Martin. The series is being produced by rapper Jay-Z.

Zimmerman allegedly told Gasparro, "Help Dennis out and give him a heads up. I'm going to find him. And I'm bringing hell with me."

He allegedly texted Gasparro and said, "Dennis is a (expletive) who bothered my uncle in his home. Local or former law officer, he's well on his way to the inside of a gator as well. 10-4?"

Zimmerman has entered a plea of not guilty, and did not appear in court for his arraignment last month.
