ORLANDO, Fla. - George Zimmerman denies throwing a wine bottle at his ex-girlfriend in his latest run-in with authorities since being acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen, in 2013.

Zimmerman says in a police report released Monday that in the confrontation with his ex-girlfriend, he didn't throw a bottle at her nor destroy her cellphone as she claimed. Instead, he says, he was only trying to prevent her from entering his home.

Zimmerman was arrested Friday evening in Lake Mary, Fla. and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police officers say they heard the sound of glass breaking at the home while on patrol and saw broken glass in the driveway.

According to CBS affiliate WKMG, police officers say they saw a woman get in her car and drive away from the home without her headlights on, which caused them to pull her over.

The woman told officers she had been dating Zimmerman for about two-to-three months, and claimed that Zimmerman threw a wine bottle at her and threw her cell phone, shattering it, as a result of an argument they were having, according to the police report.

Officers indicated in the report that the woman was very emotional.

Police said minutes after the incident, they found a broken wine bottle in the driveway, but Zimmerman was no longer there.

When he was finally located later that evening, he denied the fight but was arrested anyways. He appeared in court Saturday, where a judge set his bond at $5,000, which he later posted. He was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim and to stay out of Volusia County and turn over any firearms in his possession, according to WKMG.

George Zimmerman labeled psychopath by female victim …

Acquitted killer George Zimmerman threw a wine bottle at a woman and broke her phone during a late night row over a piece of art prompted by the woman threatening to break up with the notorious Florida man, police said.

The distraught woman, unnamed by Lake Mary police, told cops Zimmerman is a psychopath she regretted hooking up with, according to an arrest report released Monday by the suburban Orlando police agency.

Fridays arrest is Zimmermans latest foray into the spotlight after being acquitted in July 2013 of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The February 2012 shooting of the unarmed black teen in a gated Sanford, Fla., neighborhood prompted national protests. But a jury found the wannabe cop was justified in defending himself during a scuffle with the lanky, hoodie-wearing teen.

Last week, a cop on patrol heard glass break and saw the woman peel out of Zimmermans driveway just before midnight January 5 without her headlights on. The womans car was filled with her belongings, and police said she seemed very emotional and upset.

She advised that she had been in a verbal altercation over a painting, with George Zimmerman and that Zimmerman threw a bottle of wine in her direction when she attempted to leave, the offense report reads. ...Zimmerman threw the cell phone on the ground, breaking it.

Its unclear what art the two fought over, though Zimmerman himself has taken to painting, capitalizing on his notoriety by selling one piece for more than $100,000.

The woman told police she had been with Zimmerman for two to three months before incident but that he attempted to take their relationship further than she wanted.

She reiterated that she didnt want to get involved, police wrote in the statement. It was clear to me that (name redacted) intended to try avoid any type of association with Mr. Zimmerman that would possibly become public at a later time; even if that meant not being an advocated for herself as a potential domestic violence victim.

Police repeatedly tried to contact Zimmerman before finally spending 90 minutes Friday night knocking on his door and calling his cell phone.
