George Zinn, accused of obstructing justice, was also booked in connection with images on his cell of child abuse
A man who was detained moments after Turning Point USA executive director Charlie Kirk’s killing has been arrested on allegations of trying to thwart authorities by falsely confessing to the fatal shooting.
After being arrested on Monday, 71-year-old George Zinn faces a count of obstructing justice – a second-degree felony – in the wake of Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University (UVU). He was also booked in connection with images on his cellphone depicting child abuse, said state authorities, who took Zinn into custody after he was released from a hospital that was treating him for a medical condition.
