Last week, Trayvon Martin’s killer George Zimmerman was arrested for threatening his now ex-girlfriend Samantha Sheibe with a shotgun. He was later released on a $9000 bond, but new court documents show that a thorough search of Samantha’s house turned up FIVE guns, including an AR-15, three handguns, a 12-gauge shotgun, a rifle and 106 rounds of ammunition. As part of Zimmerman’s bail, he’s not allowed to possess any weapons. Though he’ll likely deny ownership of the guns, he was still living with Samantha, so this will likely be a problem. He is expected back in court on Jan. 7, and his current whereabouts are unknown. They really need to lock this man up and throw away the key!
