NFL star Shawne Merriman, who was accused of choking reality-show star Tila Nguyen, aka Tila Tequila, will not be charged, the San Diego District Attorney's office said Friday.

"After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009, incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed. This case is now closed. No further comment will be made," read a statement released by the D.A.'s office.

"I'm not surprised about it," Merriman told the North County Times on Friday afternoon when he learned of the decision at the Chargers' practice facility.

Merriman was arrested early Sunday after Tequila accused him of choking and throwing her while she was at the San Diego Chargers player's suburban San Diego home. Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant accusing Merriman of battery and false imprisonment.

The Chargers star said he was trying to prevent her from leaving because she was drunk but he didn't harm her. Tequila's attorney called the linebacker's explanation of an altercation with the reality star that led to his arrest "spin." Attorney Alan S. Gutman said Merriman's public comments that he was trying to protect Tequila, who he thought was drunk, amount to another attack on his client. Gutman predicted Merriman's story will be discredited.

On Wednesday, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department turned over its findings to the district attorney.
