In an update to an earlier story, Shawne Merriman denies harming his “female acquaintance” Tila Tequila.
In a statement late Sunday, Merriman said he was worried for the safety of Tila Tequila because she appeared to be intoxicated and he didn’t want her to drive.
Merriman also said paramedics who were called to his home in Poway, north of San Diego, reported no injuries to Tequila, best known for “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila,” which ran for two seasons on MTV.
His attorney told the AP via phone that there are numerous eye witnesses that will corroborate Merriman’s version of events.
