Zimmerman Arrested For Aggravated Assault; Freed on Bail, Ordered to Give Up Weapons 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
George Zimmerman, the man who killed unarmed African-American teenager
Trayvon Martin, has been released on bail one day after his arrest on
charges of domestic violence and aggravated assault. Zimmerman's
girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, has accused him of pointing a shotgun at
her and trying to choke her. Zimmerman was released on $9,000 bond and
ordered to stay away from Scheibe, as well as any of his firearms. He
will also have to wear an ankle monitor.
