San Diego County Sheriffs Arrest Shawne Merriman

Shawne Merriman Linebacker / pass rusher for the San Diego Chargers was arrested Sunday morning on a citizen’s arrest warrant.

Shawne Merriman, the San Diego Chargers star outside linebacker, was arrested and accused of choking and restraining Tila Tequila, his girlfriend and reality TV star, as she tried to leave his home.

According to a report from ESPN:

Tequila, 27, signed a citizen’s arrest warrant, charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment, San Diego County Sheriff’s Lt. Gary Steadman said.

Deputies responded about 3:45 a.m. to Merriman’s house in Poway, north of San Diego, after a woman called to say she was choked by the player and thrown to the ground when she tried to leave, Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jan Caldwell said at a news conference.

Merriman, 25, was taken into custody and booked into the central jail at about 8:30 a.m. He was released shortly after 11 a.m. Caldwell said she didn’t know if he posted bail or was released on his own recognizance.

Tequila was taken to a hospital. Her condition was not immediately available.

Tequila, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, is best known for “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila,” which ran for two seasons on MTV. The bisexual dating show featured men and women vying for Tequila’s affections. She has also modeled for Playboy and other men’s magazines…

What does this have with internet marketing and SEO?

Just watch the search engines as “Shawne Merriman”, “Shawn Merriman”, and “Merriman” jump in the amount of searches.

When it comes to public it doesn’t matter whether they have done something good or bad, everyone what’s to find out more about it. I ran a series of posts last year during the playoffs about Darren Sproles and the increase in searches because of his accolades on the field.

This time I am running a series of posts on Shawne Merriman and his accolades off the field.

Using my favorite keyword research tool I came up with the following numbers:

Keyword	100-day count	Predicted daily count	Competition	KEI	Ratio
shawn merriman	45	64	1,780,000	0	39555.56
shawne merriman	27	38	1,320,000	0	48888.89
merriman	14	20	7,310,000	0	522142.86

We will watch the searches for the terms over the next few weeks and I will post a follow up report.
