LAKE MARY, Fla.-- George Zimmerman, the man who was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of unarmed Florida teen Trayvon Martin, had another brush with the law, reports CBS Miami.

Police say a driver reported Tuesday that George Zimmerman threatened to kill him after a confrontation on the road.

The man called police after a truck pulled up next to him and the driver, allegedly Zimmerman, yelled, "Why are you pointing a finger at me?"

The man, who said he recognized Zimmerman, claims Zimmerman asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Two days later, the man says he saw Zimmerman in his truck outside the man's workplace. He called police but declined to press charges. His name hasn't been released.

Lake Mary police had two previous encounters with Zimmerman last year. In September 2013, his estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, told police he had threatened her and her father. She later declined to press charges.

In a November 2013 incident, Zimmerman was arrested and accused of domestic violence by a girlfriend, who later dropped charges.

Orlando, Fla. A driver says George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, threatened to kill him, asking Do you know who I am? during a road confrontation in their vehicles, a police spokeswoman said Friday.

The driver, 35-year-old Matthew Apperson, told Lake Mary police officers that a passenger in a truck stopped at a light next to his car on a busy street in the Orlando suburb on Tuesday, rolled down his window and yelled, Hey, whats your problem? Why you shaking your finger?

Apperson said he was listening to music with his windows rolled up at the time, and that the passengers yelling was unprovoked.

The trucks driver then asked Apperson, Do you know who I am? according to a police report. Apperson said he believed it was Zimmerman.

Zimmerman was acquitted last year of second-degree murder for fatally shooting the 17-year-old Martin, a case that drew international attention and spurred national discussions about race and self-defense laws. Martin was black and unarmed.

George Zimmerman was the driver, and they were threatening to kick my ass and to shoot me, Apperson told a police dispatcher in a 911 call.

Apperson told the dispatcher that he pulled into a nearby gas station to use the phone since he didnt have his cellphone, and the truck followed him. Zimmerman drove the truck up to Appersons car, blocking him in, Apperson said.

He almost hit my car and he said he would shoot me then, said Apperson, who told the dispatcher that he never saw a gun in Zimmermans truck. Both of them were threatening to shoot me and kill me.

Apperson called police from the gas station, but the truck was gone by the time officers arrived. Apperson, who has a concealed-weapons license, was carrying a firearm at the time, according to the police report.

Officers told Apperson that without other witnesses or clear video identifying the driver as Zimmerman, it would be difficult to make a case, the police report said. Apperson said he didnt want to press charges.

Even though the rise of online social networking has streamlined self-promotion into a few clicks, it takes more than 140 characters for a savvy professional to leave a lasting impression.

If networking is a key to success, which is common enough advice, then it includes the face-to-face kind -- not just pointing and clicking.

In Chelsea, one group that facilitates in-person networking for local professionals is the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber held its Fall Business Breakfast, on Sept. 11, which was a short exercise in networking over eggs and bacon at Chelsea Comfort Inn Village Conference Center.

The breakfast attracted a couple dozen chamber members and non-members, which is a far cry from tweeting out to hundreds of online friends. But it begs the question, which method of networking really gets you the more meaningful contacts? While social networks might offer quantity, they do not always guarantee the quality of responses one hopes for. On the other hand, meeting face-to-face at least ensures some kind of reaction.

Carrie Aeschliman, a senior loan officer at Flagstar Bank, commented on attending networking events in a small city.

Chelsea is a tight knit community, and getting to know some of the business people is a good way to mingle here, she said.

Chiropractors James and Elizabeth Phillip recently started a new family business in downtown Chelsea. They say the chamber has introduced them to a lot of people.

We joined two or three months before we even moved here. The chamber has helped us find patients and get our name out there. I would say it has been worth getting involved in, James said.

Tim Bristle of, a financial planner working out of Ann Arbor, has been considering expanding into a second office in Chelsea.

Bristle attended the chambers networking event, because its about finding your place in the market, he said. The gist of his advice on how to effectively network is to talk to people about how the work you do serves them, rather than just fishing for customers. Continued...

Marriage proposals, new jobs, interesting first dates - not much escapes Instagram and Facebook these days.

Now pregnancy announcements are the latest life moment to be influenced by our obsession with social networking sites.

It has always been one of the most important times for any adult - finding out about a new addition to the family.

But until recently, a high percentage of couples left details of their pregnancy off the internet, with only a small number of people posting pictures of their ultrasound with the happy news.
