Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick has been hit with shocking charges including "simple assault, criminal mischief, obstructing the administration of law, and resisting arrest" on June 2, RadarOnline.com has learned.
A municipal summons that was issued revealed the charges against her. According to reports, the MTV personality was arrested at 11 PM this past Sunday at her Freehold, New Jersey, home.
Pivarnick was not taken to jail because she was released on summons and given a ticket due to the circumstances, per reports.
There was claimed to be an incident that took place which required a visit from the Freehold Township Police Department, a law enforcement source told The Sun.
Her lawyer spoke out on Wednesday and said it was merely a "minor incident" being blown out of proportion.
It was noted there is no indication her fiancé Vinny Tortorella was involved in any way at this time. Vinny does not have any charges against him from June 2, RadarOnline.com has learned.
