Zimmerman had been arrested in 2005 on charges of resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer, according to court records.
Zimmerman had been the subject of earlier complaints by residents of the gated community in which he and Martin's family lived. At an emergency homeowner's association meeting earlier this month, one man was escorted out because he openly expressed his frustration because he had previously contacted the Sanford Police Department about Zimmerman approaching him and even coming to his home.
Zimmerman was also involved in a domestic dispute with his ex-fiance, Veronica Zauzo. Zauzo claimed Zimmerman was trolling her neighborhood to check on her. At her apartment, they spoke for about an hour when she asked him to leave. He asked for some photos and paperwork and she refused.
A pushing match ensued and her dog jumped up and bit him on the cheek, Zauzo claimed. Zimmerman, in a petition filed the next day, painted her as the aggressor, wanting him to stay the night.
Yet, Zimmerman had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. So we know he wasn't convicted of anything and is innocent of all charges of resisting arrest, battery on a law enforcement officer and any other form of violence including domestic disturbances.
He entered a pretrial diversion program; as for the Injunction, it was dismissed after HE asked for one also.
