Hastings man held under $50,000 bond

Community Affairs Coordinator, Sergeant Charles E. Mulligan, informed local Historic City News crime reporters that a convicted felon who resides in Hastings was placed under arrest on Monday when he was found to be in possession of a weapon.

Mulligan confirmed that just after 1:00 p.m. Monday, 36 year-old Michael Thomas Zimmerman was taken into custody and booked into the St. Johns County Detention Facility where he remains in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Zimmerman, who resides at 9630 Guzman Avenue in Hastings, committed a second degree felony under F.S. 790.23.1a when he sold a firearm to an undercover operative, according to Mulligan.

“There is only a charging affidavit at this time,” Mulligan told Historic City News. “The investigation is, most likely, still continuing.”
