“Jersey Shore” star Angelina Pivarnick arrested on multiple charges

The MTV star is facing assault charges, and her lawyer claims it was a misunderstanding.

Jersey Shore Star Angelina Pivarnick is facing charges related to an incident that includes assault, criminal damage, obstruction of justice and resisting arrest. According to TMZ, several summonses were issued on Sunday.

Further details are not included in the subpoena and no information can be released due to confidentiality reasons. According to TMZ, what is known is that something happened at Pivarnick’s house and that it was some sort of domestic incident.

Pavarlick’s attorney spoke to TMZ and attempted to clarify the situation. “This is nothing more than a very minor incident that was made worse by a side effect of a prescribed over-the-counter medication. We look forward to getting this matter resolved and behind us in our favor. Angelina is resting at home and has no further comment at this time,” James Leonard told the outlet. He also adds that the charges listed in the subpoena are less serious than they sound, though he did not provide any specifics.

Pavarlick is due in court in July to answer the charges, so we expect more details to come to light at that time. Her fiancé, Vinny Tortorella, was not mentioned in any of the documents, so there is no indication he was involved in the incident.
