Looks like the net is tightening, the judge didn't automatically dismiss the charges!
(CNN) -- [Breaking news update, posted at 2:30 p.m. ET]
Bail for George Zimmerman, charged with felony aggravated assault and two misdemeanors on allegations that he pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend in Florida, was set Tuesday afternoon at $9,000 during Zimmerman's first court appearance.
A Seminole County judge put conditions on Zimmerman's bail: That he cannot return to two Florida addresses; he cannot have contact with the accuser; he cannot possess weapons; he must wear a monitoring device; and he cannot travel outside Florida.
The judge initially said Zimmerman could return to one of the banned addresses with law enforcement to retrieve his belongings, but later -- at the urging of the prosecutor -- reversed that allowance, saying a third party could get the belongings instead.

There were some changes after the prosecutor's requested additional restrictions!

Prosecutor at bail hearing: Zimmerman choked girlfriend days before shotgun threat

At a bond hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors in Seminole County alleged that former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman had choked his girlfriend just days before she called 911 to say he was threatening her with a shotgun.
Zimmerman had been arrested on felony domestic violence and misdemeanor battery charges on Monday after Samantha Scheibe told authorities that he pointed a shotgun at her and pushed her out of the house.
The judge ordered on Tuesday that Zimmerman could be released on $9,000 bond. He was also barred from possessing guns or from coming within 1,500 feet of Scheibe. Zimmerman will have to wear a GPS tracking device until his next court date on Jan. 7.
At the hearing, the prosecution told the judge that the victim was “in fear for her safety.”
“The victim had indicated that there was a prior domestic violence incident that had occurred approximately a week and half ago that involved a choking that she did not report to the police,” the prosecutor said. “He has also has mentioned suicide in the recent past.”
At least two other women, a former wife and a former girlfriend, have also accused Zimmerman of domestic violence in the past. He was acquitted of murder earlier this year after he admitted to killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Update (3:45 p.m. ET):
Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, reportedly served him divorce papers while he was in jail waiting for Tuesday’s bond hearing. She had been unable to find him to serve the papers prior to the arrest.

And that last little sentence is simply delicious!
He was hiding from his soon to be ex-wife who is going to get at least half of his collections from the righties. But once he was in jail she knew right where to find him. Too sweet!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
