George Zimmerman, the man acquitted earlier this year in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, was arrested in Florida on Monday.

The charges are still unclear, but the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that police arrested Zimmerman after responding to a disturbance call from a house northwest of Orlando, the Associated Press reports.

Zimmerman’s arrest marks the latest trouble for the former neighborhood watch volunteer since he was found not guilty of murder in July. In September, police questioned him after a dispute with his estranged wife, but no charges were filed.

He was acquitted in July in the case that sparked a national debate on race, guns and self-defense laws.
