Shawne Merriman, NFL star of the San Diego Chargers, was taken into custody on Sunday (September 6, 2009) after he allegedly choked and physically restrained girlfriend, Tila Tequila.
Tequila, real name, Tila Nguyen, is best known for being a bit of an online social media wizz and the star of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, the reality show that made it to two seasons. She signed a citizen’s arrest warrant sometime around 3:45AM last night after calling the police, accusing Merriman of battery and false imprisonment at his house.
