George Zimmerman, the man who was acquitted in 2013 of murdering an unarmed black Florida teenager, was arrested Friday night in a domestic violence case, according to news reports.

Police said the 31-year-old was arrested around 10 p.m. in Lake Mary, just outside Orlando, on a charge of domestic aggravated assault,according to the Associated Press.

On Saturday morning, Zimmerman appeared in court and was given a $5,000 bond and ordered to stay out of Volusia County, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Judge John Galluzzo told Zimmerman that he has until Tuesday to surrender firearms in his possession, according to the Sentinel.

Details of the incident that led to the arrest were not immediately available, but the Sentinel reported that it didnt involve a firearm and may have involved a bottle of wine, according to Zimmermans lawyer.

Fridays arrest is far from Zimmermans first run-in with the law since he was acquitted in 2013 of a second-degree murder charge for shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. According to the AP:

He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after his then-girlfriend said he pointed a gun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house they shared. Samantha Scheibe decided not to cooperate with detectives and prosecutors didnt pursue the case.

Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was unarmed. No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers.

Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic violations since his acquittal.

In September, police said a man accused Zimmerman of threatening him during an altercation on the road, though he was never arrested or charged,according to CNN.

I will kill you, Zimmerman allegedly said, according to police. Do you know who I am?
