However, Lake Mary police Chief Steve Bracknell confirmed about 4:30 p.m. that Shellie Zimmerman and her father, David Dean, had signed paperwork declining to press charges.
"They both have declined to press charges against George," Bracknell said."We have no victim, no crime."
According to Hudson, Zimmerman described his wife and her father as the aggressors.
The incident played out at a house where, the Sentinel reported earlier Monday, Zimmerman and his wife lived during his high-profile trial in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Hudson said earlier that although Zimmerman was not detained and was not in custody, he was cooperating with police.
Bracknell said police would document the incident thoroughly in case Shellie Zimmerman or her father changed their minds about pursuing charges.
Officers were also reviewing surveillance video from the house which may have captured what happened.
Police seized Zimmerman's gun, but Hudson said "more than likely we'll be giving it back."
