A Florida man has accused George Zimmerman of threatening to kill him and then showing up later at his work, Officer Bianca Gillett with the Lake Mary Police Department confirmed to CNN Friday.

The man called 911 twice, according to Gillett: Once on Tuesday to report the threat, which he said happened during a road rage incident.

"Why are you pointing your finger at me?" the driver of the vehicle, which had two occupants, said to the man. "I will f******g kill you, do you know who I am?"

The caller, believing it to be Zimmerman, pulled into a convenience store parking lot with the truck purportedly following behind him. He said he went inside and called police. When they arrived on scene, the truck was gone, according to Gillett.

The man then called again on Thursday, claiming he feared for his safety after showing up to work and seeing the truck, which he believed to be Zimmerman's, waiting for him.

Zimmerman, who was acquitted by a six-person jury last year of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was confronted by Lake Mary police officers. Gillett said Zimmerman admitted to being involved in the incident earlier in the week.

The caller has decided to not press charges at this time, according to Gillett.

This certainly isn’t Zimmerman’s first run-in with the law since his acquittal.

The former neighborhood watch captain was spotted back on patrol in July outside a store in Central Florida that sells motorcycles, guns and ammunition.

"George is a personal friend," Pat Johnson, the owner of Pompano Pat’s, said in a written statement to CNN. "My store was robbed recently and George was just keeping an eye on things as a friend."

Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times by police -- twice for speeding and another time for having window tint that was too dark.

Additionally, he was arrested last September for an alleged domestic dispute with his then-estranged wife. No charges resulted from the incident.

He was also arrested in November for allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend. No charges were filed in that incident either.

Zimmerman fatally shot Martin in February 2012 in the Sanford, Florida, neighborhood where Zimmerman and Martin's father lived. Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, had a confrontation with the unarmed African-American teen after calling police to report a suspicious person. He later told police he shot Martin in self-defense.

The high-profile case sparked a heated nationwide discussion of race as well as debate over Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law.
