"I'm sorry if I caused any trouble," Cortese said, standing before the same bench where co-star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi pleaded guilty to disturbing other beachgoers in 2010. Municipal Court Judge Dan Sahin gently rebuked Cortese for diverting police officers from more pressing concerns. "Ms. Cortese, please keep in mind you're taking police officers away from a job they have to do," the judge said. Responding to the call, investigating, arresting her and bringing her back to police headquarters all took valuable time that could have better been spent serving others who needed help, he added.
