This is a very strange story.

On August 22, a contingent of stars from The Vampire Diaries were arrested in Forsyth, Georgia. Their crime? Posing too seductively for a photo shoot.

Actresses Nina Dobrev, Candice Accola, Kayla Ewell, and Sara Canning, (as well as photographer Tyler Shields) were taken into custody by Georgia cops and charged with disorderly conduct because drivers reportedly called in about kids flashing others from a local bridge.

Police officers instructed the show’s stars to reveal identification before taking them to the sheriff’s office, booking them and taking the mug shots shown above.

Shields posted $4,000 in fines and described the Georgia police as possessing a “flair for the dramatic.”

In other show news, The Vampire Diaries broke every record The CW has for a series premiere this week. You really should watch it.
