George Zimmerman Arrested For Assault -- Again - Video
George Zimmerman was arrested late Friday for aggravated assault and domestic violence with a weapon after allegedly throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend, Florida police and his lawyer said.
The 31-year-old was detained at 10 p.m in Lake Mary, near Orlando, his booking record shows. At a Saturday morning court appearance, Zimmerman was granted a $5,000 bond, which he posted. He was released from jail a short time after noon and was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim or travel to Volusia County, where she lives, reported NBC affiliate WESH.
Zimmerman's attorney, Don West, said the woman is his girlfriend, and the incident involved him allegedly tossing a wine bottle at her earlier this week at his Lake Mary home. West said he did not want to "speculate" about the situation that led to the alleged assault, adding that Zimmerman "has not been lucky with the ladies."
He also must surrender any firearms he owns even though the judge said there was no indication he used one in this case. He is expected to appear in court again Feb. 17. West said Zimmerman will plead not guilty. "Anyone who has been through what he has would have a rough time," West said.
Zimmerman was acquitted by a Florida jury in 2013 of second-degree murder in connection with the killing of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.
He filed a defamation suit against NBC News but a judge dismissed that claim last summer. He has appealed the judge's decision.

SANFORD Comedian Roseanne Barr shouldn't have to pay damages to George Zimmerman's parents, even though she posted their address on Twitter, because what she wrote was true and newsworthy, she claims in new court paperwork.
Last month, a judge refused to dismiss the Zimmermans' lawsuit against her, so last week, her lawyers filed new paperwork.
This time, they put forward a dozen reasons why Circuit Judge Melanie Chase should throw it out. Some are the same ones used by news organizations when they're sued for defamation.
The facts she tweeted "are constitutionally protected," wrote her lawyer Hal Litchford of Orlando, "because they are truthful, newsworthy."
They also involved public figures, he argued George Zimmerman's parents: Robert Zimmerman Sr. and Gladys Zimmerman, a retired couple in Lake Mary.
And Barr did not tweet private facts, Litchford argued. She posted pieces of information that were easily accessible through Seminole County property records and the phone book.
Her tweets also didn't cause any "cognizable damages," Litchford wrote.
That is not what the Zimmermans allege in their suit, filed March 10. They accuse Barr of trying to incite a "lynch mob" and forcing them to move out in the middle of the night and live in hiding for months.
She posted the tweet March 29, 2012. Robert Zimmerman Sr. told the Orlando Sentinel two weeks earlier that his family was already living in hiding.
Barr's tweet came a month after George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in Sanford.
