SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J., June 11 (UPI) -- "Jersey Shore" cast member Deena Cortese was arrested in Seaside Heights, N.J., during the weekend and charged with disorderly conduct, police said.

Seaside Heights Police Chief Tommy Boyd told NBC 4 New York Cortese was picked up Sunday afternoon after officers allegedly saw her in the middle of a street, slapping cars as they went by.

"Nothing major, but we can't put up with it," Boyd said. "We don't treat the cast [of the reality series] differently than anyone else."

Cortese was issued a summons and released, NBC said.
