George Zimmerman, who was acquitted this summer of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin, has been arrested in Florida after deputies responded to a "disturbance call."

Zimmerman was arrested by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office at about 1 p.m. today, authorities said.

He will be transported and booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility.

No further details were immediately available.

The sheriff's office said they will be releasing the arrest report and 911 call as soon as they are available.



Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Seriously though, how many times can one guy get arrested @_@

O.o He was acquitted of murder charges... not of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin.

Back to OP: Dayum... the dude got in trouble again? He should've been laying low...

Are you saying he did murder him? Was he convicted?

Yeah, I'd guess calls to the station would be rather more frequent these days. Poor sod. He wasn't found guilty in court, why do people keep trying to get him behind bars?

Because some people like to think they know more than the jury , or they just can't grasp the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

Semantics here.

The yahoo writer stated Z was "acquitted this summer of murdering...". As in, Z is still now a murderer... just not convicted. I'm saying he was acquitted of the charge of murder... thus, he's not a murderer.

Just a quibble.

Hey, I wanted him to go to jail and I think it's getting a little ridiculous at this point. Zimmerman is either a walking magnet of arrest or people around him have gotten really cop happy. Maybe both. Either way the drama is way over top XD

For the record, it's not just a quibble. It's gakky reporting and it's a way the media likes to slant a story the way they like. It's always "A jury failed to find x guilty"; or some such if it's someone they would have preferred to have had found guilty.

I don't get it, if you looked at it without the murder trial existing you get a guy who got arrested previously for domestic abuse, but who got off when he smashed the ipad which apparently had the recording of him carrying out the abuse on it, so they couldn't prosecute, and then he enters into a new relationship and gets booked for domestic abuse again.

Wouldn't you assume the guy maybe just likes to knock women around? Rather than its a great big conspiracy because of the murder trial etc etc, maybe he's just a dick when it comes to women?

Or am I missing something from the previous case, I have to admit I've only really followed the headlines and a wee bit of the discussion, mostly because they have been impossible to escape on dakka.

What makes you frivolous charges? Wasn't one of the arguments about the Trayvon case, a lot of it justified, that people made to many assumptions one way or the other?


@Whembly: Being tried for Murder means you are either convicted or acquitted of murder. Charges are what get you in the door.

He does seem to be arrested a lot:
George Zimmerman has been accused of domestic violence, tussling with a police officer and for over-speeding.

In 2005, Zimmerman was arrested and charged with "resisting officer with violence" and "battery of law enforcement officer." Both these felonies are considered third-degree. Due to his desperate attempts, the charges were reduced to "resisting officer without violence" and then the only remaining charge was also completely waived off when he entered an alcohol education program.

In the same year (2005), Zimmerman's ex-fiance, Veronica Zuazo, filed a civil motion for a restraining order, alleging domestic violence. In retaliation, Zimmerman filed for a retraining order against Zuazo and both these claims were resolved with both restraining orders granted.

The next year, in 2006, Zimmerman was charged with speeding. However, that case was dismissed because the officer who charged him failed to show up at the court.

It depends on what you define murder as. In the eyes of the government he is not a murder, but he did kill Martin. If you think all people who kill are murderers, than he would be a murderer in your eyes. Also people can be murderers, and be acquitted at a trial.
