George Zimmerman, acquitted in July in the fatal shooting of black teenager Trayvon Martin, was arrested Monday in Seminole County Fla., Florida media outlets are reporting.

The Orlando Sentinelreported that Zimmerman was en route to the Seminole County Jail in Sanford, according to Sheriff Don Eslinger.

The Sentinel said it was not clear what happened or what crime he's accused of committing, but just before 1:30 p.m., Eslinger confirmed that Zimmerman had been arrested.

WESH-Channel 2 reported that Zimmerman was accused of domestic violence by a girlfriend.

Zimmerman, 30, was a neighborhood watch in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., when he shot Trayvon, 17, on Feb. 26, 2012. The shooting touched off protests across the nation. Some of the wrath targeted the state's Stand Your Ground statue, although Zimmerman's lawyers opted to rely on a more standard self-defense argument at trial.
