Tila Tequila Assaulted?

San Diego Chargers star, Shawne Merriman (Tila Tquila's ex) was arrested Sunday and accused of choking and restraining Tila when she tried to leave his house. She signed a citizen's arrest warrant, charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment. "There was absolutely no wrongdoing on the part of Mr. Merriman," Macaluso, Shawne's attorney, told The Associated Press by phone. "He essentially was doing what was appropriate under the circumstances in trying to protect the safety of Miss Tequila. There were numerous eyewitnesses that will support his version of the events that transpired at his home."
Shawne was taken into custody and booked. He was released later that day.
Tequila was taken to a hospital but her condition wasn't released.
