Guess Who’s Been Arrested Again
George Zimmerman is currently in jail in Seminole County Florida on aggravated assault charges, with domestic violence and weapon enhancements. Also, he’s not eligible for bail, which on top of the weapon and domestic violence upgrades is a really bad sign. Edit, Update 1: Zimmerman has now seen the judge and is being held on a $5000 bond.
Update 2: We now have a bit more of the story. Seems Zimmerman lost his temper and the weapon the assault refers to was a bottle of wine.
Judge John Galluzzo gave few details of the incident, but said a wine bottle was involved and that the alleged assault happened at Zimmerman’s home. Prosecutors questioned whether substance abuse treatment was needed, but the judge said that didn’t seem to be a factor.
After the brief hearing, Zimmerman’s attorney, Don West, told the Orlando Sentinel (tinyurl.com) his client was arrested after allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend several days ago.

Zimmerman, who wore blue scrubs and handcuffs, appeared calm during the brief hearing. At one point, he laughed and joked with an officer as he signed paperwork.
Although the incident didn’t involve a firearm, the judge ordered Zimmerman to surrender any weapons out of an abundance of caution.
