Reality TV star Tila Tequila (real name: Tila Nguyen) got into an argument with San Diego Chargers' Shawne Merriman and accused the linebacker of choking her and she was physically restrained by Merriman after she tried to leave his residence.
San Diego Sheriff's deputies responded to a disturbance call at Sage Crest Drive in Poway and arrested Merriman after Tila claimed that she was attacked by him. (3:45 AM., September 5)
Tila Tequila signed a citizen’s arrest at the scene, charging the football star with battery and false imprisonment.
She was transported to Pomerado Hospital while Merriman was taken into custody. His bail was set at $58,000.
UPDATE: According to TMZ, "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."
San Diego Chargers GM A.J. Smith released a 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."
