Lake Mary police announced Wednesday that they are not going to charge George Zimmerman with stealing a king-sized bed, antique chair and several other pieces of furniture from his mother-in-law's rental house where he lived for several months.
Department spokesman Officer Zach Hudson characterized the matter as "a civil dispute".
Earlier, Hudson described it as a landlord-tenant dispute.
Zimmerman's mother-in-law, Machelle Dean, last month filed a police report, accusing Zimmerman of stealing items from the house where he had lived for several months.
It includes $4,400 worth of items, including $3,000 worth of leather furniture, a pillow-top king-sized bed, an antique chair owned by his estranged wife's grandmother and other items, according to a police report.
She also accused him of defacing the kitchen cabinets by writing on them, the report said.
Police tried to question Zimmerman but he referred questions to his attorney, Mark O'Mara, the report said. At one point, O'Mara said he'd just pay the estimated loss himself "because his client did not need the extra attention," the report said.
However, that never happened.
