San Diego County Sheriff's Lt. Gary Steadman said 27-year-old Tila Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant early Sunday, charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment. Tequila was taken to a hospital. Her condition was not immediately available. Merriman, 25, was taken into custody by deputies who responded to a distress call at his home in Poway, north of San Diego. Tequila, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, is best known for her MTV dating reality show, "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila."

Echo52 0 Posted September 6, 2009 Wow.... so if he's not on the roids.. I guess he's just angry. If this is true, there's no excuse for it and I lost respect for the guy. I've been a big fan of his since he was a Maryland and had hoped the Giants would have drafted him with their 2nd round pick... but they traded it away in the deal involving Eli and Rivers. I wonder what Goodell will do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open and shut case of self defense if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open and shut case of self defense if you ask me. Sounds like a bad freakin' joke. Tequila's lawyer is named Leemon.........who will no doubt add salt to Merriman's wounds.

themorey 1 Posted September 7, 2009 C'mon, like 95% the people who have ever been tricked into watching her dumb ass "reality" show wouldn't try to choke her if given the opportunity. If I was Merriman's lawyer my case would be "Judge, just spend 20 min with her in the daylight and when she's wearing clothes. If you don't try to choke her then I'll do my time." Lights Out angry! Lights Out choke!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted September 7, 2009 You can't make an STD infested ho a housewife. Roid-raging closet cases shouldn't date wannabe celeb hookers. Hopefully the cops showed up and maced them both. The fall of Merriman continues. Maybe he can carve out a niche as a B-movie action star? Seems to be working for The Boz.

mrgymrat 0 Posted September 7, 2009 At least his gun didn't slide from his waist band as he was wrestlin with the aforementioned celebrity ho and go off in his pants while trying to do his part in fighting drunk driving. I, for one, find it difficult to believe that A) she was intoxicated and that she would have him arrested. She always seemed so normal on TV... What's more stupid? 1. Carrying an unregistered gun in your waistband in NY or 2. Dating Tila Tequila Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrying an unregistered gun in your waistband in NY or 2. Dating Tila Tequila Answer: 1. SHOOTING YOURSELF with said unregistered gun in your waistband in NY AND going to jail AND losing your job with the Millions it came with. Btw, the cutest thing he'll be looking at is Tony Tequila. A distant but painful second is: 2. Dating Tila Tequila. Cute but with nether regions comprised of swamp pudding you can be sure that anytime you see her 3 days later you gotta go see the doctor.

LandenChase 0 Posted September 7, 2009 Merriman will be cleared and he will be killing OAK on Monday night. All reports indicate he was watching out for her. Tila just wants attention and money. Goodell, nor the authorities, will have no ground to fine or suspend Shawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
