The two reportedly got into an altercation at 3:45 this morning. Tila called police claiming Merriman had "choked and physically restrained" her, according to TMZ. After she signed a citizen's arrest warrant, the San Diego Chargers linebacker was taken into custody for battery and false imprisonment.

Merriman released a statement this morning to FoxSports.com: "On September 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided.

"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California.

"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism."

In response to his statement, Tila twittered, that she wasn't drunk because: "I am allergic to alcohol. It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila "Tequila" cuz the irony. I cant drink"

However, during a press conference, a sheriff's department spokesman confirmed that Tequila had been drinking. Want to bet on celebrities? Bodog has all your celebrity odds and more! Don’t have an account yet? Join Bodog now. It’s free.

Tila recently announced on her Twitter, "I'm gonna tell y'all something REAL FAST, then delete it ok? Since nobody is awake – reason why I've been feeling sick on and off lately is because yes, I am pregnant!"

Although she wouldn't disclose the identity of the baby's father, who is apparently laying low over the whole mess, Tila did say, "You should at least step up to the plate or I'm gonna have to put you on blast in the media – and I'M SURE that's not what you want do you?"

She also gave clues to who he is saying, "I'm talking about someone very very very very very fucking famous! He is like A-list famous and you follow him on Twitter too."

Tila then took the messages down, leaving her three followers aghast at the news.

Tila was down to two contestants, potential boyfriend Bo and Kristy, when she dismissed Bo after he did his best to use his body heat to melt a block of ice to get to "Tila's heart" frozen in the center. "I've been calling Tila my girlfriend for a long time now," a heartbroken Bo told the cameras. "I really do love Tila. You always get your Bo-bear."

However, after a steamy makeout session with Kristy in the hot tub, Tila was surprised when Kristy rejected her final key. "You love that I'm honest and that I'm true to my feelings and true about who I am," Kristy told a teary Tila. "If I take this key, I'm not being true."

"Why would you do that now?" Tila asked. "Why would you put me through all this process… I feel humiliated."

Alas, little Tila Tequila still hasn't found her "true love," so we're probably looking at a few more seasons of MTV's A Shot at Love.
