So Zimmerman was once cuffed and arrested?

That was the police report was from the night of the shooting..

It pains me you've not read that yet.

Peg- Just as a point of info, arrested basically means the same as the literal definition of the word: stopped. The police officer has what he/she believes to be probable cause--a reasonable suspicion that a crime was committed and you did it.

But that's a big difference from charged.

You can be arrested, detained, even cuffed; questioned at the scene, in a cruiser, at the station; then released with no charges.
