As previously noted on FindLaw’s Celebrity Justice, Jersey Shore Cast member Nicole Polizzi, better known to the western world as Snooki, was arrested for on July 30 for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, etc. As you may recall, Snooki was arrested after an afternoon of boozing and evidently annoying other people in the general vicinity of the pint-sized pop culture phenom.

Specifically, during the filming of an episode of the MTV reality hit Jersey Shore in July, Snooki became intoxicated, disorderly and was bothering other patrons. According to the New York Daily News, Snooki later said she had been drinking tequila for hours before her arrest and doesn’t actually recall actually being taken into custody.

Is Snooki too pretty for jail, as reported by the Daily News? Time and one over-scheduled New Jersey judge will tell.

Update: Most of the charges against Snooki have been dismissed by the judge handling the case. Snooki will pay a modest fine and serve community service working with animals as her attorney told the court she loves to do. However, the judge did reprimand the diminutive defendant for being “self indulgent” and acting like Lindsay Lohan. He inquired of Snooki if this event was scripted or just her idea of having a good time. “Do you want to trade your dignity for a paycheck?” the judge asked. Too late?
