SAN DIEGO � District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis has dismissed reality TV star Tila Tequila�s accusations that San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman choked her and threw her to the ground early Sunday.

Dumanis announced Friday afternoon there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Merriman committed a crime. Tequila had signed a citizen�s arrest warrant charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment, both felonies.
�This case is now closed,� Dumanis said in a statement.
