snookijail7.jpg Jersey Shore star Snooki was arrested for disorderly conduct on the beach earlier this afternoon in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, but she has since been released. A few hours ago J-Woww tweeted, "Going to bail @Sn00ki out of jail... The things I do for this girl, I swear."

Chief of Police Thomas J. Boyd released the following statement:

    "On Friday at approximately 15:23 hours, Nicole Polizzi was acting in a disorderly matter while on the beach. Miss Polizzi was escorted from the beach by patrolmen and placed under arrest for disorderly conduct near the boardwalk. She was transported to police headquarters and later released on a summons."


The reality TV starlet will get a court date, but she didn't have to pay bail to get out of jail. A spokesperson for the police department added that she will pay a fine when assessed by a judge later.
