( CNN ) -- George Zimmerman 's wife was arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly lying at his bond hearing about the couple 's finances . Shellie N. Zimmerman , 25 , faces a perjury charge , according to Jackie Barnard , spokeswoman for the State Attorney 's office for the Fourth Judicial District of Florida . She met conditions for a $ 1,000 bond and was released Tuesday afternoon , according to the Seminole County Sheriff 's Office . At her husband 's April 20 bond hearing , Shellie Zimmerman was asked whether the couple had financial means to assist in the defense . `` Uhm , not -- not that I 'm aware of , '' she replied , according to a probable cause affidavit filed Monday . She also testified under oath she was not aware of how much had been raised from a website soliciting cash for George Zimmerman 's defense in the February shooting death of Trayvon Martin , 17 , in Sanford , Florida . Zimmerman said he acted in self-defense . In April , Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder after the case was referred to a state attorney for a review . He was released from custody later that month after posting bail . On June 1 , Seminole County Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. ordered Zimmerman back to jail , accusing the suspect of not being truthful about how much money he had access to when his bond was set . Prosecutors alleged that George Zimmerman , 28 , actually had about $ 135,000 . According to the affidavit , prepared by an investigator with the State Attorney 's office , the Zimmermans discussed finances via phone before the April 20 bond hearing . Those talks included the transfer of money from George Zimmerman 's account to accounts of his sister and wife , according to the affidavit . Records show $ 47,000 was transferred from George Zimmerman 's account to his sister 's account from April 16 and 17 , authorities allege . Shellie Zimmerman transferred more than $ 74,000 from her husband 's account to her account from April 16 to April 19 , the affidavit states . George Zimmerman asked his wife in jail calls to `` pay off all the bills , '' including an American Express bill and a Sam 's Club card , prosecutors allege . On April 24 , after his release on bond , Shellie Zimmerman transferred more than $ 85,500 from her account back to George Zimmerman 's account , according to the affidavit . Shellie Zimmerman will be arraigned July 31 . Prosecutors have alleged the Zimmermans spoke in code when discussing the money in a credit union account , according to court documents filed by State Attorney Angela B. Corey . Zimmerman `` fully controlled and participated in the transfer of money from the PayPal account to defendant and his wife 's credit union accounts , '' Corey said in court records . `` This occurred prior to the time defendant was arguing to the court that he was indigent and his wife had no money . '' The judge `` relied on false representations and statements '' by Zimmerman and his wife when the court set his bond at $ 150,000 , Corey said . Zimmerman was required to post only 10 % of that . Defense lawyers have argued that `` the vast majority of the funds in question are in an independently managed trust '' that Zimmerman and his attorneys can not access directly . `` The audio recordings of Mr. Zimmerman 's phone conversation while in jail make it clear that Mr. Zimmerman knew a significant sum had been raised by his original fundraising website , '' attorneys said last week . `` We feel the failure to disclose these funds was caused by fear , mistrust and confusion . The gravity of this mistake has been distinctly illustrated , and Mr. Zimmerman understands that this mistake has undermined his credibility , which he will have to work to repair . '' The attorneys said Zimmerman did disclose the existence of the funds five days after the bond hearing , during his first conversation with the defense about the fund . `` When the defense team learned of the funds , we disclosed this to the court and to the State Attorney 's Office , and the money was transferred to the Legal Defense Fund , which is now independently managed , '' the defense said . Of the $ 204,000 raised by the website , about $ 150,000 is now in the defense fund and $ 30,000 was used `` to make the complicated transition from private life in Sanford , Florida , to a life in hiding as a defendant in a high-profile court case . '' The remainder , about $ 20,000 , `` was kept liquid to provide living expenses for the first several months as the legal process unfolds , '' attorneys said .
