NFL Star Accused of Choking Tila Tequila

Shawne Merriman of the San Diego Chargers was taken into custody by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department after an alleged altercation with Tila Tequila.

San Diego Sheriff's deputies responded to a call this morning at 3:45 AM. Tila claims she was "choked and physically restrained" by Merriman after she tried to leave his residence.

Merriman is accused of battery and false imprisonment.

Tila was transported to a local hospital while Merriman was taken into custody. His bail was set at $58,000.

UPDATE -- Tila Tequila has been released from the hospital.

UPDATE -- A lawyer for Merriman denied all charges and says Tila was "extremely inebriated" and that Merriman tried to stop her from leaving the home because he didn't feel it was safe for her to do so.

UPDATE -- A.J. Smith, the general manager of the San Diego Chargers, released this statement: "It's disappointing to hear about the issue involving Shawne Merriman. We'll continue to monitor the situation and let the legal process run its course."

What the hell is a Tila Tequila? Is that like Zima? Or is more like a margarita in a bottle? Who the phuck cares if he's choking his drinks?

The story is why is he sleeping with such a whore.  Ball players put themselves in the worst positions.

Shes quoted as saying something to the effect, "I saw something I wasnt supposed to see and tried to leave. They didnt want what I saw to get out so they tried to prevent me from leaving." Cops say she was drinking. She says she dosent drink. This one is going to get interesting. I predict Merriman is going to find himself in hot water.

They also have witnesses at the club they were at that said she was drinking pretty heavily and that Merriman was just ordering bottled water.  She says she is allergic to alcohol and that is where she gets her name out of irony.  Either way, Merriman will not be a Bolt next year.

Probably because they feel entitled and have no common sense.

He would fit in well with the Raidas and they need lots of help on defense.

tila has been on a twittering rampage and paints a credible picture.  i'm starting to have doubts about merriman.  she says that story about the owner saying she was drinking is not true.

[Honda]

Tila has a twitter? I am going to follow her.
