( CNN ) -- Apparently , reality star Snooki is not just too pretty for jail , she is too pretty for court . Nicole Polizzi , also known as Snooki on MTV 's reality show `` Jersey Shore , '' did not attend a court hearing in New Jersey on Wednesday . Her lawyer , Ray Raya , appeared on her behalf , to enter a `` not guilty '' plea on a disorderly conduct charge , according to a Seaside Heights Municipal Court spokesman . The 22-year-old was arrested in late July on the beaches of Seaside Heights , New Jersey . She will not serve jail time , but faces potential fines ranging from $ 250 to $ 1,000 . She is expected to attend her next hearing , set for September 8 , the court spokesman said . Polizzi told MTV News that jail is not the place for someone as attractive as she is . `` I 'm too pretty to be in jail . I 'm a good person . I 'm not a criminal and I will never go back there , '' the `` Jersey Shore '' star said . She said she realizes she may have had too many drinks , but that it 's nothing to get crazy over . `` I do n't know why people take it so seriously , '' Polizzi said . `` I had a couple cocktails , and they just put me in a drunk tank to sober me up . '' The arrest of the TV star even caught the attention of Arizona Sen. John McCain . McCain jokingly brought up the arrest during a recent visit to Phoenix radio station KMLE Country 108 . `` I have a question for you that I thought about on the way over : Should Snooki go to jail ? Or -- a question for our listeners -- is Snooki too good-looking to go to jail ? '' McCain asked . `` This has given a whole new meaning to our justice system , and I 'm kind of leaning towards Snooki being too good-looking . ''
