“Jersey Shore” actor arrested

Who said reality TV doesn't have reruns? A second member of MTV's "Jersey Shore" ended up in the Seaside Heights slammer on Sunday. This time, it was Ronald "Ronnie" Ortiz-Magro. A press release from Seaside Heights police said that Ortiz, a 24-year-old from the Bronx, was arrested and later released after resolving some "outstanding warrants" from Union and Greenwich townships. The cops didn't disclose the details but several news outlets said the warrants were for unpaid parking tickets.

Earlier this summer, Ortiz's diminutive cast-mate Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi had her own brush with Seaside Heights police when she was charged with disorderly conduct.
