George Zimmerman Has Until Tuesday To Turn In His Guns

George Zimmerman, arrested late Friday night on charges of aggravated assault and domestic violence with a weapon, has been ordered to turn in his guns.

George Zimmerman, the self-appointed vigilante who was acquitted of murdering unarmed teen Trayvon Martin last year, was arrested late Friday night on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon and domestic violence. 

According to Seminole County booking documents, Zimmerman, 31, was arrested by the Lake Mary police and was booked at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility at 10:10 p.m. Zimmerman was released at 12:15 p.m. after posting a $5000 bond. Judge John Galluzzo also ordered Zimmerman to surrender all of his firearms.

Though the charge against Zimmerman indicates a weapon was used, Judge Galluzzo said the weapon in Friday's assault was a wine bottle and not a gun. Since the judge also told Zimmerman to pack up his girlfriend's belongings and give them to his lawyer, and Zimmerman is charged with domestic violence, it is reasonable to assume his girlfriend was the victim of Zimmerman's assault.

This is the third run in with the Lake Mary police Zimmerman has had since his acquittal in the Trayvon Martin Case.

• In September 2013, Zimmerman's estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, called 911 to complain he had was threatening her with a gun.
• In November 2013, Zimmerman was arrested and accused of domestic violence by girlfriend Samantha Scheibe.
• In September 2014, Zimmerman was involved in a road rage incident.

Slate reports that Zimmerman is scheduled to appear back in court on February 17 to answer the charges.
