Here Are All the Weapons Police Found in George Zimmerman’s Florida Residence [View all]

Following George Zimmerman’s recent arrest for alleged domestic abuse against girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, police conducted a search of the house where the couple had been staying that uncovered a large cache of weapons and ammunition.

According to CNN, court documents filed Monday show that authorities recovered three handguns, a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 rifle and 106 rounds of ammunition, including two AR-15 magazines.


In addition, police also cataloged three handgun holsters, a religious pendant, a flashlight, a pocket knife, sanitizing wipe, a soft-sided gun case, a combination lock, and, for reason, a pack of gum.

Zimmerman was released in $9,000 bail last week, but he was required by the judge in the case to stay 1,500 feet away from his accuser, wear an electronic ankle monitor and relinquish all weapons until the matter is resolved.
