SANFORD, Fla. — A prosecutor says George Zimmerman’s girlfriend claims he choked her about a week ago but she didn’t report it to police at the time.

The prosecutor told a judge about the allegation during a first appearance Tuesday on domestic violence-related charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief.

The judge set George Zimmerman’s bond at $9,000 and ordered that he not possess guns or ammunition. He was ordered to stay away from the girlfriend’s house and wear a monitoring device.

Zimmerman was taken into custody Monday after girlfriend Samantha Scheibe told deputies he pointed a shotgun at her during an argument.

In a 911 call, Zimmerman denied pointing a gun at Scheibe.

The 30-year-old former neighborhood watch volunteer was acquitted earlier this year of criminal charges in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.

He had run ins with the law before the Trayvon Martin incident, and now multiple run ins after that incident.

He is a magnet for trouble.

Being acquitted for one incident does not whitewash the rest of his life. There is no conspiracy to ruin his life or take the media’s eyes off something else, which I have read others say,  No – he brought this on himself. He was a jerk before Trayvon, and he’s even a bigger jerk afterward.

George, you should just stay in your truck. Every time you get out you step in something
