Angelina Pivarnick is facing a slew of criminal charges stemming from an incident that took place this past weekend at her New Jersey residence, where Page Six is told her fiancé, Vinny Tortorella, was present.

According to a municipal summons that was issued Sunday and obtained Wednesday by TMZ, the charges against the “Jersey Shore” star, 37, include simple assault, criminal mischief, obstructing the administration of law and resisting arrest.

The summons reportedly did not contain more information due to confidentiality reasons.

Freehold Township Police Department officers told the outlet that they are not able to discuss the nature of whatever happened at Pivarnick’s house, as there are legal exemptions for publicly releasing info related to domestic violence cases and/or criminal investigations.

Meanwhile, Pivarnick’s attorney, James Leonard Jr., told Page Six that the “very minor incident” was “exacerbated by an adverse reaction to prescribed over-the-counter medication.”

“We look forward to resolving this matter favorably and putting it behind us,” Leonard added.

In a since-deleted Reddit post, an eyewitness claimed they saw several cop cars and an ambulance arrive at the MTV personality’s home in Freehold, N.J., on Sunday.

We can confirm that Tortorella was at her residence when the incident occurred and police arrived; however, it’s unclear whether he was the alleged victim.

This isn’t the couple’s first run-in with the law.

As Page Six previously reported, cops responded to Pivarnick’s Freehold home after an alleged instance of domestic violence broke out between her and Tortorella in November 2023.

According to the police report, the reality star dialed 911 but declined to press charges after authorities arrived.

However, a “criminal investigatory record” was made in light of the incident.

“I can confirm that Angelina did in fact call the police to her home. After speaking with the officers, Angelina decided not to file charges,” Leonard told us at the time.

“This matter is now closed. Moving forward, Angelina would ask for privacy as it pertains to her personal life.”

Meanwhile, Tortorella’s lawyer, Elizabeth Rozin-Golinder, noted at the time that the two remained betrothed and living under the same roof.

“My client and Ms. Pivarnick are still engaged and are still residing together. Mr. Tortorella denies any act of impropriety that would warrant police involvement and denies any act of domestic violence occurred,” Rozin-Golinder told us at the time.

“No charges have been pressed against my client by Ms. Pivarnick or law enforcement. I ask that his privacy be respected in this regard.”

Pivarnick then posted a solemn-faced selfie alongside a caption about turning to God for guidance.

Tortorella proposed to Pivarnick, who has been engaged three times before, in November 2022 during her “divorce party” to celebrate the finalization of her split from her first husband, Chris Larangeira.
