Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman charged with assault in Florida

George Zimmerman has been released from jail after posting $9,000 bail - but not before his wife Shellie served him with divorce papers while he was behind bars. Zimmerman, who was arrested Monday after his girlfriend Samantha Scheibe called 911 saying that he threatened her with a double-barrel shotgun, has been dodging his estranged wife's attempts to legally notify him that she wants a divorce. Until Zimmerman got the divorce papers, a judge refused to proceed with the divorce case. Zimmerman, who was acquitted this summer of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin, is 'millions' of dollars in debt and relying on public defenders for his legal team, his attorney revealed.

 TMZ.com reports that Shellie Zimmerman has been trying to divorce George since September - but she can't because court agents have not been able to track him down and hand him the paperwork formally notifying him of the divorce. He finally got the paperwork today in the Seminole County jail. Zimmerman was seen for the first time since on Tuesday when his two new lawyers accompanied him to the first appearance hearing where a judge heard arguments over whether or not he should be released on bail while waiting for his charges to be brought to court on January 7. The judge ordered that he will be allowed to be released but he must not contact Ms Scheibe and stay away from two specified residences - one of which is her home.
