Zimmerman, 28, was wearing a gray suit as he stepped into an SUV and was driven off, NBC News reported.
Don West, one of Zimmerman’s attorneys, described his client’s mood as “buoyant.”
Conditions of the release
He was fitted with an electronic monitoring device before his release.
Zimmerman is required to stay in Seminole County, according to a statement by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department.
According to conditions of his release, Zimmerman can not open a bank account, obtain a passport or set foot on the grounds of the local airport.
He has a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, the Associated Press reported.
George Zimmerman charges
On Thursday, Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth R. Lester, Jr. ordered Zimmerman’s bond raised to $1 million in light of revelations Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, had misled the court about their finances during an April 20 bond hearing.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17, inside a gated community in Sanford.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, pleaded not guilty and told police he acted in self-defense after Martin punched him and knocked his head against the pavement.
“He’s very happy to be out,” West said, the Associated Press.
