Just as Trayvon Martin‘s leaked marijuana suspension made national news, George Zimmerman‘s past run-ins with the law are also beginning to come to light.

MSNBC reports that Zimmerman’s ex-fiance, Veronica Zuazo, filed a “civil motion for a restraining order alleging domestic violence” in 2005. Zimmerman counterfiled for a restraining order against Zuazo. Both restraining orders were eventually granted. In December of 2006, he was charged with speeding, but the charge was dismissed after the cop failed to show up in court.

In another incident in 2005, Zimmerman was charged with “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer.”

MSNBC.com has more:

The charge was reduced to “resisting officer without violence” and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.
