George Zimmerman, the Florida man acquitted in 2013 of the shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, was arrested in Florida late Friday night on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon.

According to Seminole County booking documents, Zimmerman, 31, was arrested by the Lake Mary police and was booked at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility at 10:10 p.m.

Zimmerman posted bond and was released at 12:15 p.m. He has been ordered to surrender all firearms even though this incident didn't involve one, judge John Galluzzo said.

Galluzzo gave little information about the case, other than that it involved a wine bottle and allegedly happened at Zimmerman's house. He asked that Zimmerman pack up his girlfriend's belongings and give them to his lawyer.

Zimmerman is scheduled to appear back in court on Feb. 17.

Since his high-profile acquittal, Zimmerman has had three other encounters with the Lake Mary police.

In September 2013, Zimmerman's estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, called 911 to tell police he had punched her father and was threatening her with a gun. She opted not to press charges.

In the second incident, which occurred in November 2013, Zimmerman was arrested and accused of domestic violence by girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, who later said investigators had misinterpreted her statements and dropped charges.

In September 2014, Zimmerman was involved in an incident of road rage.
