George Zimmerman, acquitted four months ago in the killing of Trayvon Martin, was arrested Monday after a domestic disturbance call and booked into Seminole County Jail, according to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
It was unclear what Zimmerman was charged with, but according to the sheriff's office, police responded to a disturbance call in Apopka, Fla., shortly before 1:30 p.m. Zimmerman's girlfriend lives in that area, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
The former neighborhood watchman has been booked, and according to the Seminole County Jail's website, he is not being offered bail.
Zimmerman, who in July was found not guilty of all charges in the 2012 shooting death of Martin, has had several brushes with the law since his acquittal.
In September, Zimmerman was handcuffed by police in Lake Mary, Fla., after his estranged wife and her father accused him of threatening them with a gun. He was questioned and released by police at the scene, and no charges were filed.
The same month, Zimmerman was stopped for speeding in Lake Mary and received a $256 ticket.
In July, Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in Forney, Texas. He told the police officer he had a concealed weapon permit and a gun in his glove compartment. The officer gave Zimmerman a verbal warning.
In August, he was pulled over in Brevard County, Fla., for having an improper tag displayed on his truck. The officer also informed Zimmerman that his vehicle's excessive tint needed to be corrected. According to police, Zimmerman told him that he had installed the tint because he was receiving death threats.
Zimmerman said he shot Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, in self-defense, sparking a national debate over so-called "Stand Your Ground" laws.
