In a weird twist of celebrity co-mingling, reality TV star Tila Tequila’s NFL boyfriend Shawn Merriman was arrested yesterday, according to TMZ.
Police were called to the home of San Diego Charger’s Merriman early this morning where Tila claimed he had choked her and restrained her from leaving the apartment. Tila was taken to hospital but no injuries reported.
Merriman was taken into custody with a bail set at $58,000.
His lawyer released a statement this morning saying Tila was extremely inebriated following a birthday party at Stingareer Nightclub in San Diego and Merriman did not want her to leave the house because he felt it was unsafe.

Hayden Panettiere’s father might just need a hero to get him out of this predicament.
According to E! News, Alan Panettiere was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly hitting his wife, Lesley Panettiere. Sgt. Scott Wolf, a spokesperson for the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department, said Hayden’s father got into an argument with Hayden’s mother and struck her on the left cheek up to two times with a closed fist.
The “Heroes” star’s mother called the police who arrive at the home and took her statement.
Reports claim that the spat occurred over a party the couple attended. Hayden’s dad is currently being held for $50,000 bail.
No word whether the 18-year-old star or her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, were present during the altercation.
Rehab isn’t just trendy. Occasionally it’s necessary, especially for Dennis Rodman.
Days after being arrested for domestic battery, Rodman has checked into an outpatient rehab facility, People magazine has learned.
According to Rodman’s manager, “[Rodman's] life has not been going smoothly for the last few months since his divorce. He has not been able to see his kids. And he has been drinking too much.”
Rodman was arrested in a Los Angeles Hotel last Wednesday, after police received reports that he had abused a woman. The woman sustained injuries to her arms. Rodman is expected in court May 22 after posting $50,000 bail.
