Seaside Heights Police Chief Tommy Boyd tells WNBC TV in New York that Deena Cortese was arrested Sunday afternoon on a disorderly conduct charge. Boyd says a borough officer saw Cortese "a little intoxicated" and standing in the middle of a street, slapping cars that were driving by.
Boyd says Cortese was taken to police headquarters and later released on a summons.
MTV publicists did not immediately respond to requests for a comment on Sunday night, and a number for Cortese could not be located.
The popular reality show just recently started shooting its new season in the Ocean County community.
