Back in July Nicole Snooki Polizzi got arrested in Seaside Heights, NJ on charges of drunken disorderly conduct and today Snooki had her day in court to answer those charges. After initially pleading Not Guilty to the charges, Snooki changed her plea to Guilty and threw herself on the mercy of the court. A contrite and conservatively dressed Snooki stood before a judge today and owned up to her mistakes. After the judge labeled her a “Lindsay Lohan wannabe”, he slapped her with $533.00 in fines and sentenced her to 2 days of community service (which actually will only be 1 day since she got credit for going to the zoo last week). Here are photos of Snooki in court and the full run-down of the day’s events:

“Jersey Shore’s” Snooki just got schooled by a New Jersey judge, who called her a “Lindsay Lohan wannabe” … after she pled guilty to a crime after a drunken escapade on a Seaside Heights beach. As we first reported, Snooki was arrested in Seaside Heights, NJ on July 30 … after she was spotted using a beer bong and falling off a bicycle. Judge Damian Murray scoffed at Snooki in court, saying he didn’t know if her antics were scripted, adding, if it was scripted Snooki needed to decide “if it was worth trading your dignity for a paycheck.” But that wasn’t the end … The judge called Snooki’s actions “rude and self-indulgent.” Snooki pled guilty to disturbing the quiet enjoyment of the beach but the disorderly conduct charge and another count were dismissed. Snooki could have been thrown in the slammer for 90 days, but the judge let her skate with 2 days community service and a $533 fine. Snooki addressed the court and said she was “very embarrassed” and says she was never in this kind of situation before.

For the most part, all of this was to be expected. Snooki‘s crime wasn’t all that serious and by pleading Guilty, she owned up to her mistake and proved to the court that she was truly sorry. While this Guilty plea was prolly more about getting less punishment than it was about responsibility, it at least proves that Snooki isn’t necessarily doomed for a life of failure. Will this be enough to keep her out of trouble? I guess we shall see … my guess is that she will not get into any more trubs with the law, that is, until the next season of Jersey Shore starts filming again.
