        Along with the audio recordings of six calls to Sanford police that George Zimmerman made in the weeks before the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, the Sanford Police Department has posted reports of 46 911 and nonemergency calls it says Zimmerman made between August 2004 and Martin’s shooting.

        The Daily Beast has compiled a list of the calls from the reports. Verbatim excerpts of the reports appear in quotes. An explanation of Sanford County police codes can be found here.
