Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi of Jersey Shore was arrested shortly after 3:00 p.m. by Seaside Heights, New Jersey police for acting in a disorderly manner while on the beach near the boardwalk.

Witnesses reported seeing the 22-year-old actress drinking Coke out of a beer bong and taking body shots at a bar on Friday while being filmed by MTV. Snooki was also captured on video attempting to ride a bicycle when she fell face first onto the pavement. It wasn’t long before she was taken into custody – see video footage below.

It has been an interesting week for Snooki. MTV proclaims that Wednesday was International Snooki Day. On Thursday President Barack Obama failed a pop culture question on The View when he didn’t have a clue about Snooki.

Ironically, just an hour before her arrest, Nicole Polizzi ‘tweeted’: “@whitehouse President Obama…love to tan in the rose garden … I’ll teach you how to fits (sic) pump!”

According to Chief of Police Thomas J. Boyd, she was not given a blood alcohol test at the jail facility because she was not driving at the time of her arrest. Snooki was issued a court summons and has been released from police custody. She has been assigned a court date and will have to stand before a judge, who will assess a fine.

Season 2 of Jersey Shore premiered last night with 5.3 million people tuning in – MTV’s second biggest premiere of all time.

No addition ‘tweets’ from Snooki have been forthcoming. Perhaps she’s sleeping it off. Stay tuned…
