We know now that San Diego Chargers Linebacker Shawne Merriman is in trouble for allegedly attempting to choke MTV Reality Star Tila Tequila. Does anybody else think that this whole thing is just plain weird? Not the allegation of possible violence, but rather that Merriman apparently has some sort of relationship with this person. I always wondered how someone becomes a "Reality" star...but eh...I'm getting old too.
A story from the L.A. Times appears here .
Some opinion from the San Diego Union-Tribune here.

San Diego Police are still investigating the incident, one which they aren't quite sure exactly what happened. They do know that Tequila (real name Nguyen) was in the driveway of Merriman's home when they pulled up and that she was intoxicated and claiming injury. She was transported to a local hospital and wanted to make a "Citizen's Arrest". They don't know if Merriman was intoxicated or what exactly happened, but because of the "Citizen's Arrest" complaint, they were compelled to arrest him.
Merriman, spoke briefly upon bonding out of jail, his lawyer saying "At no time did Mr. Merriman assault her; at no time did Mr.Merriman keep her against her will. His intentions were nothing but good"
This sounds like it will keep the entertainment media hopping for the next few days. It's probably also the last thing the Chargers need as they close in on their opening game this coming weekend. No doubt there will be more to this story and we will keep track of it....I think.
