SANFORD, Fla. — George Zimmerman had five guns and more than 100 rounds of ammunition with him when deputies arrested him earlier this month on domestic-violence charges, according to court documents released Tuesday.
A search warrant made public by the Seminole County court clerk shows that Zimmerman had a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle and three handguns when he was arrested Nov. 18 at the Apopka, Fla., house of his girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe.
Scheibe, told deputies that Zimmerman pointed a shotgun at her during an argument and that he used it to smash her coffee table.
Zimmerman, 30, is free on $9,000 bail on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief. He has pleaded not guilty.
The search warrant says Zimmerman told deputies that Scheibe and he had agreed to separate, but as he gathered his belongings, Scheibe became upset and threw a handgun and the shotgun on the floor.
Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in July in the racially charged shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17, during a confrontation in the community where Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch volunteer.
