George Zimmerman has reportedly found himself afoul of the law once more. 

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger confirmed the 30-year-old is currently being transported to Seminole County Jail. The Orlando Sentinel adds that Zimmerman was taken into custody around 1:30 p.m. after the Sheriff's Office was summoned regarding a domestic disturbance in Topfield Court near Apopka, Fla. 

WESH 2 reports that Zimmerman was accused of domestic violence by his new girlfriend, who the Sentinel says lives in that part of Seminole County. 

In July, Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder for killing Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. back in February 2012. In the subsequent months, he's had several bizarre encounters with the law, including a September arrest for a domestic dispute involving his estranged wife, Shellie Zimmerman, and her family. Shellie Zimmerman, who's in the process of divorcing him, declined to press charges.

Though no charges have been listed, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office's website says Zimmerman is being held without bail. We will update with more information as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Seminole County Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma says Zimmerman has been charged with felony aggravated assault for allegedly pointing a shotgun at girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe. Lemma added that Zimmerman was also charged with domestic battery and criminal mischief. 

Zimmerman is currently being held without bail and will appear in front of a judge at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow.
