The man accused of firing a gun at George Zimmerman was arrested Friday evening, WFTV reported.
Lake Mary police arrested Matthew Apperson on one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
He was also charged with one count of firing a deadly missile into an occupied conveyance.
Apperson turned himself in to police Friday and was later transported to the Seminole County jail, reports said.
The suspect's lawyer, Mark NeJame, released a statement which read, "The case will proceed through the criminal justice system appropriately and ultimately a determination will be made as what truly happened. Mr. Apperson will continue not to comment until such time as it may be deemed appropriate."

Police said Zimmerman flagged down an officer on Monday to report that someone fired a gun at him while he was driving on Lake Mary Boulevard.
At the same time Zimmerman flagged down the officer Apperson called 911.
According to the police report, two handguns – a .40-caliber Glock and a .357 revolver – were recovered from Apperson's vehicle.
An expended .357 shell was also found in the vehicle.
Zimmerman's attorney, Don West, said Tuesday that the former neighborhood watch volunteer had moved several weeks ago and was settling in to his new home.
Zimmerman came back to the area this week for Mother's Day and was driving to a doctor's appointment when he became involved in the shooting with Apperson, authorities said.
NeJame said his client fired the gun in self-defense.
"He saw George Zimmerman handling a gun and brandishing that gun and (it put) Mr. Apperson in fear for his life," NeJame said.
West disputes that claim.
"George absolutely denies having shown it, waved, displayed, pointed it," West said.
Zimmerman suffered minor injuries from flying glass and debris.
Both Apperson's and Zimmerman's weapons were being carried legally, authorities said.
There's no word on whether it's the same gun that Zimmerman used to kill 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford in 2012. Zimmerman was acquitted in that shooting in 2013.
