In 2005, Zimmerman was arrested and charged with “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer.” He was 20 years
old at the time and both charges are third-degree felonies.
According to the report, the charges were reduced to “resisting officer without violence” and then waived when he
entered an alcohol education
program. Msnbc.com reports that accounts indicated Zimermann shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at a
bar.
Msnbc.com reports that in 2005, Zimmerman’s ex-fiancee, Veronica Zuazo, filed a motion for a restraining order and alleged domestic violence.
Zimmerman counterfiled for a restraining order against Zuazo. Both restraining orders’ were granted.

court.
According to a Miami Herald investigation, early in the investigation in the death of Martin, the Sanford Police Department requested an arrest
warrant from the Seminole County State Attorney’s office.
The Herald reports that a Sanford Police incident document shows the case was categorized as “homicide/negligent manslaughter.”
He's been a very lucky man with regard to not having a single charge stick....
