Matthew Apperson has been sent back to the slammer today after Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson got word of him urinating on a neighbor’s front door while he was already free on bail from his legal troubles with George Zimmerman.
Last month, Apperson’s neighbor Sharee Rivera accused him of relieving himself on her property, in addition to blowing cigarette smoke in her face, muttering under his breath and making obscene gestures.
Apperson already faces this year’s charges of attempted murder from aiming and shooting a gun at George Zimmerman, the man reportedly known as the person who killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin in 2012.

While Apperson did not deny aiming a gun at Zimmerman, with intentions of using the Stand Your Ground law as his defense, he does deny his neighbor’s accusations.
Orlando Sentinel reports that Rivera stated that she’s suffered years of harassment from Apperson. She’d previously called the police 15 to 20 times to report various complaints about him.
In 13 years of being neighbors, Rivera said Apperson has also been accused of pouring hot oil on her plants and tossed paper at her, too.
“I don’t talk to him,” Rivera told Orlando Sentinel. “I haven’t talked to him in years.”
Apperson had been treated in a mental hospital several weeks before the vehicular shooting with Zimmerman. Orlando Sentinel reports that Apperson appeared to be “fixated” on Zimmerman.
