George Zimmerman's girlfriend Samantha Scheibe has told a Florida court that police "misinterpreted" her statements when she claimed that Zimmerman was brandishing a shotgun during a domestic assault incident in November, RadarOnline.com has learned. Now, she has said in a sworn affidavit, she wants the charges dropped so she can get back with the notorious Zimmerman.
"I do not want George Zimmerman charged," Scheibe said in an affidavit filed by Zimmerman's attorney, Jayne Weintraub, on Dec. 6.

Scheibe and Zimmerman have not been in contact since he was charged with felony aggravated assault following the Nov. 18 incident, when Scheibe called 911 claiming Zimmerman had threatened her with a gun.
"When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated …" Scheibe says in the new affidavit. "I believe that the police misinterpreted me, and I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police."
At the time, she told a 911 dispatcher, "He's in my house, breaking all my sh*t because I asked him to leave. He's got a freaking gun, breaking all my stuff right now."
Scheibe now claims that Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner." What's more, she says she wants to get back with him, insisting, "I want to be with George."
His attorney is asking the court to at least modify the conditions of his bail so that he and Scheibe can resume contact.
The drama with his girlfriend is just the latest legal mess for Zimmerman since being acquitted of the death of Trayvon Martin in July. In September, his then-wife, Shellie Zimmerman called 911 claiming Zimmerman threatened to shoot her and punched his father-in-law in the nose. Shellie filed for divorce in September.
He was also pulled over for speeding in July and September.
Zimmerman is currently out on a $9,000 bond, and has also given up all his firearms and consented to wearing an electronic monitor.
