Whaaa?!?!

As all Charger fans know by now, Shawne Merriman has been accused of a few felonies! Not good, not good at all!

Shawne did issue this statement: "On September 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriffs Department responded to a citizens 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 Sheriffs Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."

The facts from this statement appear to clear his name. First, paramedics found no injuries. What I do want to know, Tila's blood alcohol level? This could be the missing piece to the puzzle. Second, Shawne cooperated with the police. That's all I got though.

This all said, Shawne did something that upset her in one way or another. I do believe Shawne will be cleared of all accusations simply by the inconsistencies in the story.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt as of now. Innocent till proven guilty right?

GO BOLTS!
