63. The dispatcher did NOT tell him to stay in the truck.

That the dispatcher gave him that instruction is a DU myth that gets posted a LOT. Check out a transcript: http://zimmermanscall.blogspot.com/p/the-call.html

I will copy and paste the relevent part:

1:47 Zimmerman: Yep. When you come to the clubhouse you come straight in and make a left. Actually you would go past the clubhouse.
Dispatcher: So it's on the left hand side from the clubhouse?
Zimmerman: No you go in straight through the entrance and then you make a left, uh, you go straight in, don't turn, and make a left.
Zimmerman is making a big mess of this, and the frustration in his voice is very evident.
This is suddenly interrupted:
2:07 Zimmerman “Sh**. He’s running”.

Zimmerman gets out of the truck immediately on saying "He's running."
2:09 A mechanical sound. Maybe the door latch. Maybe releasing seat belt.
Dispatcher: He's running? Which way is he running?
2:10 Tone, which seems to be the usual warning chirp when a door opens
Zimmerman: Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood.
2:14 Sound like the door slamming shut
Dispatcher: OK. Which entrance is that that he's heading towards?
2:15 Sound that could be door lock operating or him brushing against the truck
Zimmerman: The back entrance
2:20 We hear a pattern of regular rustling/wind noises starting

2:22 Zimmerman: F***ing ****s
There have been various interpretation of what he said. I hear "Goons" - which id the name by which local gangs were known. Zimmerman claimed later that it was "Punks". Others have suggested words ranging from "Cold" to racially-oriented. To me the sound combined with the circumstances would favour "Goons", with 'g' bringing out the 'u' sound.
2:23 Dispatcher: Are you following him? Maybe the Dispatcher interprets the background noises as Zimmerman running.
Zimmerman: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Ok, we don't need you to do that.
2:28 Zimmerman: Ok.

Z was ALREADY out of the truck when the dispatcher said that he didn't need to follow TM.
