Matthew Apperson, the hood hero who admittingly shot at child predator killer George Zimmerman was arrested in Florida on yesterday. He has since been released on $35K bail.

Apperson said that he was in fear for his life and shot at Zimmerman’s pickup truck in self defense. The two  have reportedly had ongoing beef so apparently when Apperson saw Zimmerman –he popped a cap at him.

Witnesses at the scene said that Apperson can be overheard after the shooting saying, “I hope I got him this time”.

 Better luck next time.

Legal analysts are predicting that Apperson may be able to use the “Stand Your Ground” law as his defense. Ironically, the “Stand Your Ground” defense is the same defense George Zimmerman used to gain an acquittal for the killing of black teenager, Trayvon Martin.

There may be few cases in the history of criminology where the “suspect” is actually the hailed as the good guy and the “victim” — the bad guy. This might be one of those cases.

The man who shot at George Zimmerman during a confrontation along a busy central Florida road has been ordered by a judge to turn in his weapons and avoid contact with Zimmerman.

Matthew Apperson made his first appearance before a judge Saturday. The Orlando Sentinel  reports he was released on $35,000 bond after being charged Friday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a missile into an occupied conveyance.

Zimmerman’s attorney said the former neighborhood watch volunteer was driving to a doctor’s appointment Monday when Apperson intentionally fired his gun into Zimmerman’s truck without provocation.

The passenger window of Zimmerman’s pickup had a bullet hole in it, and Zimmerman suffered minor injuries from flying glass and debris.

Zimmerman and Apperson were involved in a road-rage episode last September.
