Officials in Florida say George Zimmerman was arrested on aggravated assault charges last night.
NBC News reports that Zimmerman, 31, was arrested in Lake May, Fla. around 10 p.m.:
Zimmerman was charged with aggravated assault and is currently on a no bond status, the Sheriff's Office said. The next step in the process is first appearance. At this time, the judge may address bond status.
According to the Associated Press, Zimmerman is being held at John E. Polk Correctional Facility and is scheduled to appear in court this morning.
In July of 2013, Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. the previous February. He's had several subsequent encounters with law enforcement, including domestic disputes with his estranged wife and ex-girlfriend.
