Maintaining his innocense, Zimny told Interim Superior Court Judge Duane Huffer, senior judge, he did not attack Samantha Kneller, it was the “opposite way.” He stated he believes in justice and the law, but this matter was a misuse of the law and a lie. “It’s terrible.”

Zimny was additionally ordered not to have any direct or indirect contact with Kneller and not to be on the Jellystone Campground property. He was also ordered to pay $1,410 in restitution for lost wages to Kneller.

According to police, the victim and Zimny argued over a clothes dryer at the campground. The probable cause affidavit released by the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office indicates Zimny had issues in the past with people removing clothes from laundry facilities at the campground. He said he believed the woman was stealing.
