It is alleged that Zimmerman threw a bottle of wine in the direction of his girlfriend 4-5 days prior to the arrest. Zimmerman was told by the judge to stay out of Volusia County where his girlfriend currently lives.

The NYpost.com reports:

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office says the 31-year-old Zimmerman was arrested for aggravated assault in Lake Mary about 10 p.m. Friday and is being held at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility.

During a court appearance Saturday morning, Zimmerman’s bond was set at $5,000 and he was ordered to avoid contact with the woman who was not identified.
