A Florida man acquitted of murder in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager has been arrested on charges he pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend.
George Zimmerman, 30, has been jailed in Seminole County, Florida.
Mr Zimmerman was charged with felony aggravated assault, battery, domestic violence and criminal mischief, a sheriff's office spokesman said.
In July, a jury cleared Mr Zimmerman of the February 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin, 17.
Since then, Mr Zimmerman has had other brushes with police, including an incident in October when he was briefly detained following a domestic disturbance at the home of his estranged wife, Shellie.
ANALYSIS: I couldn't not do this one after everything that happened with Trayvon Martin. Really George Zimmerman? The whole country knows you're guilty of killing Trayvon. The last thing you need is getting charged for more stuff. What possesses people to think that either they won't get caught, or that they can somehow justify heinous crimes like this? There is no pity for this. I would think that someone that just got off from being accused of killing someone would be doing everything they could to rebuild their life and not have anymore run-ins with the police. Seriously, George Zimmerman?
Byron Otis-You'd think that after his ordeals, he'd try to keep from pointing guns at people, but I guess he's just insane
