		<description><![CDATA[Word on the local news last night from a &quot;witness&quot; is that it went down like this.
Shawne &amp; Tila hanging at the club, with Merriman reportedly ordering just water several times, Til drinking alcohol.
Back to Shawne&#039;s place, sometime later Tila walks in on Merriman and two chicks in bed. He asks her to join them. She gets pissed and says she&#039;s going to go bang one of his homies. She strips naked and starts heading out the door.
He didn&#039;t grab her to keep her from driving drunk, he grabbed her to keep her from running down the street naked.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow.....talking about a bunch of muscle heads who have no clue about domestic violence.
Those of you who think this is funny, should do a little research on statistics regarding domestic violence.
Those of you who say she got what she deserves because she&#039;s a skank probably think a woman wearing a miniskirt in public deserves to get raped.
Jump into the 21st century boys. Women are not here to be used as our toys or as punching bags -- no matter what you think of the individual woman.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, we could play our 2nd string O and D and still beat 1/3 the NFL, let alone the Raiders.
Secondly, all the witnesses will back Shawne, it has already been said she had no injuries by the SD PD, so it will be a non-issue.
No charges. No suspension. Nothing to worry about.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update... Sounds like there is nothing to see here.
The Chargers released the following statement from General Manager A.J. Smith: “It&#039;s disappointing to hear about the issue involving Shawne Merriman. We&#039;ll continue to monitor the situation and let the legal process run its course.”
Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff&#039;s Department, said there were several other people at the home at the time of the alleged assault and investigators have questioned them.
“She was not seriously hurt,” Caldwell said. “She was able to talk. She was able to walk. She was mobile. She did not have any serious injuries that our deputies saw.”
Caldwell said the couple had been at a nightclub earlier in the evening and Tequila was intoxicated when deputies arrived. Caldwell did not know if Merriman had been drinking.
Although Tequila was allegedly restrained by Merriman, Caldwell said she was able to get to a phone and call 911.
Detectives were continuing their investigation, Caldwell said, and the District Attorney&#039;s Office would decide later if any formal charges would be filed.
According to Tequila&#039;s Twitter page, she was in town this weekend to attend her first Chargers game on Friday against the San Francisco 49ers. In several tweets, she expresses her love for Merriman.
“Im tweeting you from the next ... room ... WAKE YOUR --- UP! LOL. ... awwww U sleeping like an angel. ... SExy Sexy babay!” one of the tweets on the page Saturday stated.
Neither Merriman nor Tequila had tweeted about the incident as of Sunday morning.
Merriman is returning to the field this season after missing nearly all of the 2008 campaign because of a major knee injury. He has not had any past run-ins with the law, but he did serve a four-game suspension in 2006 for testing positive for steroids.]]></description>

Detectives were continuing their investigation, Caldwell said, and the District Attorney&#8217;s Office would decide later if any formal charges would be filed.<br />
According to Tequila&#8217;s Twitter page, she was in town this weekend to attend her first Chargers game on Friday against the San Francisco 49ers. In several tweets, she expresses her love for Merriman.<br />
“Im tweeting you from the next &#8230; room &#8230; WAKE YOUR &#8212; UP! LOL. &#8230; awwww U sleeping like an angel. &#8230; SExy Sexy babay!” one of the tweets on the page Saturday stated.<br />
Neither Merriman nor Tequila had tweeted about the incident as of Sunday morning.<br />
Merriman is returning to the field this season after missing nearly all of the 2008 campaign because of a major knee injury. He has not had any past run-ins with the law, but he did serve a four-game suspension in 2006 for testing positive for steroids.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[His lawyer just released this according to TMZ:
UPDATE -- A lawyer for Merriman denied all charges and says Tila was &quot;extremely inebriated&quot; and that Merriman tried to stop her from leaving the home because he didn&#039;t feel it was safe for her to do so
so all he needs now is some of those party witnesses to corroborate the story and it&#039;s a non issue for 09
then some of you hypocrites can beg your GM to sign him in 2010 lol]]></description>
