US President Barack Obama has not heard of Snooki, but New Jersey police certainly have after arresting the Jersey Shore reality TV star on Friday, on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Snooki, whose real name is Nicole Polizzi, 22, was arrested in Seaside Heights on the New Jersey shore while filming the hit TV series, and she was later released from custody with a summons to appear in court, police said.
"Nicole Polizzi was acting in a disorderly manner while located on the beach," Seaside Heights Chief of Police Thomas Boyd said in a statement. "Ms Polizzi was escorted from the beach by [officers] then placed under arrest for the charge of disorderly conduct."
Earlier this week New Jersey's governor Chris Christie said the cast and show gave a "negative" impression of New Jersey.
Obama appeared on The View talk show on Thursday and said he had not heard of Snooki when asked a question about the reality television star.
"President Obama ... love to tan in the rose garden :) ... I'll teach you how to fist pump!" Snooki tweeted on Friday.
