On Tuesday a Florida judge set George Zimmerman's bail at $9,000 with a number of conditions for his freedom which included he not possess a weapon while he awaits trial on the domestic violence charges.

Zimmerman was released from John E. Polk Correctional Facility Tuesday afternoon after allegations that he pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend during an argument Monday.

Although the persecutor revealed new allegations against Zimmerman to argue for a higher bail of $50,000 they weren't reflected in the preliminary charges. Originally Zimmerman's bail was set $4,900 but the choking allegation was cited by Judge Schott with the increase.
