George Zimmerman won’t be charged in alleged wine-throwing …

For the second time in just over a year, prosecutors have backed away from filing criminal charges against George Zimmerman in a domestic-violence case because a woman, initially upset and angry, has changed her story.

This time, the allegation was that Zimmerman had thrown a wine bottle at a woman who had just moved out. Last year, it was a different girlfriend who said he had pointed a shotgun at her and locked her out of the house.

Neither woman was injured.

Zimmerman, 31, is the former Sanford Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted of second-degree murder for shooting Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, on Feb. 26, 2012.

He did not return a phone call Friday.

Since his trial, he's had several encounters with the police.

Twice he's been arrested, accused by girlfriends of getting violent during breakups, and in 2013, his estranged wife accused him of threatening her and her father with a gun while they were moving out her belongings.

The most recent event was three weeks ago when he was arrested Jan. 9, accused by Lake Mary police of aggravated assault.

At 11:30 p.m. four days earlier, an officer heard breaking glass and saw 28-year-old Brittany Brunelle, Zimmerman's dental hygienist, drive away from their home without turning on her headlights.

When officers pulled her over, she told them that she and Zimmerman had argued about her decision to move out.
