According to police, Zimmitti is facing other charges for things that happened while he was being taken into custody. Those charges include interfering with an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held on an additional $50,000 bond for those charges.

If Zimmitti is unable to post bond, he will be in court on Tuesday.
