popped her gum in his face, spurring him to call her names and smacking her mouth with his open hand.

In January 2002, she also claimed, Zimmerman got upset because she got home too late. They tussled. He threw her on the bed. She smacked him. Zimmerman left for the night.

For his part, Zimmerman claimed that in November 2002, she attacked him with a baseball bat after she discovered he went to a concert without her.

In the end, an Orange County circuit judge ordered them to stay away from each other for more than a year.

Zimmerman later became the neighborhood watch volunteer at his Retreat at Twin Lakes neighborhood in Sanford. He established a pattern of calling police when things were awry in his neighborhood, from barking pitbulls topotholes and suspicious people.

On Feb. 26, he called in the presence of a stranger. Minutes later, he shot the stranger — Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin — and claimed self-defense. He has not been charged and the case is now the focus of a national campaign.

A rally is expected in both New York City and Miami Wednesday evening to demand criminal charges in the racially charged case.

Zimmerman, who is of Hispanic descent, is in hiding and could not be reached.
