911 dispatcher:
Are you following him? [2:24]
Zimmerman:
Yeah. [2:25]
911 dispatcher:
OK.
We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]
Zimmerman:
OK. [2:28]
Zimmerman stops following Martin.
He is either on the dogwalk or close to it on foot.
He stops to answer questions.
911 dispatcher:
Alright, sir, what is your name? [2:34]
Zimmerman:
George. He ran.
911 dispatcher:
Alright, George, what’s your last name?
Zimmerman:
Zimmerman.
911 dispatcher:
What’s the phone number you’re calling from?
Zimmerman:
407-435-2400
911 dispatcher:
Alright, George, we do have them on the way. Do you want to meet with the officer when they get out there?
Zimmerman:
Yeah.
911 dispatcher:
Alright, where are you going to meet with them at?
Zimmerman:
Um, if they come in through the gate, tell them to go straight past the clubhouse and, uh, straight past the clubhouse and make a left and then go past the mailboxes you’ll see my truck. [3:10]
Notice he doesn't know the street name...he just says make a left.
911 dispatcher:
Alright, what address are you parked in front of? [3:21]
Zimmerman:
Um, I don’t know. It’s a cut-through so I don’t know the address. [3:25]
He doesn't know the address where he is.
Again, he doesn't know the name of the street his truck is parked on.
911 dispatcher:
OK, do you live in the area?
Zimmerman:
Yeah, yeah, I live here.
911 dispatcher:
OK, what’s your apartment number?
Zimmerman says during this time he was walking to the other street that he knew the name of in search of an address to give the dispatcher.
Zimmerman:
It’s a home. It’s 1950 – oh, crap, I don’t want to give it out – I don’t know where this kid is [inaudible]. [3:40]
He doesn't know were Martin is...no longer following Martin here for sure.
911 dispatcher:
OK, do you just want to meet with them at the mailboxes then? [3:42]
Here the dispatcher recommends an alternative to getting an address.
A known meeting place.
I'm pretty sure this is by the clubhouse, on the other side of Zimmerman's truck.
Zimmerman:
Yeah, that’s fine. [3:43]
It's been more than 20 seconds since he was asked where he was parked.
How far can you walk in 20 seconds?
Average walking speed is 3 mph.
I used this site to convert to feet per minute.
http://www.conversion-website.com/speed/walking_speed_to_foot_per_minute.html
821 feet per minute.
Divide by 3 for 20 seconds walking time...274 feet.
Divide by 4 for 15 seconds walking time...205 feet.
911 dispatcher:
Alright, George, I’ll let them know you’ll meet them at …
Zimmerman:
Could you have them call me and I’ll tell them where I’m at? [3:49]
Suggests Zimmerman continued in search of an address on the other street.
911 dispatcher:
OK, that’s no problem.
Zimmerman:
My number … you’ve got it?
911 dispatcher:
Yeah, I’ve got it. 435-2400?
Zimmerman:
Yeah, you got it.
911 dispatcher:
OK, no problem. I’ll let them know to call you when they’re in the area. [4:02]
Zimmerman:
Thanks.
911 dispatcher:
You’re welcome.
Call ends 4:07
