Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino Arrested After Brawl in Tanning Salon

Gym. Tan. Get arrested?

Mike Sorrentino, better known as “The Situation,” was arrested and released from jail on $500 bond on Tuesday after being involved in a brawl in a New Jersey tanning salon. Because where else would it be?

The 31-year-old former Jersey Shore cast member was getting his (fake) tan on at Boca Tanning Salon in Middletown, NJ, which he and his family co-own, when police responded to a report of a fistfight.

Interestingly enough, The Situation got into a fight with his own brother Frank, telling a photographer of Splash News that Frank “was not running the store correctly, so I had to go in there and clean house, in more ways than one.”

The Jersey Shore star and his family opened the salon back in March and are scheduled to appear in their own upcoming reality show on TV Guide Network titled “The Sorrentinos.”

Sorrentino, who left the fight with an interesting situation under his right eye (pun intended) in the form of a bruise, has been charged with assault.
