Good thing the reality TV cameras weren't rolling for this.

Alicia Guastaferro, who appeared on Wife Swap in 2008, was arrested for prostitution on Monday, Pembroke, N.Y., police tell E! News. Per police, the 20-year-old was in the car with 54-year-old James D. Doyle; Doyle was arrested for driving while intoxicated, providing alcohol to a person under 21 and patronizing a prostitute.

Police say that sometime after midnight on Aug. 27, a concerned motorist reported an erratic vehicle traveling eastbound on the New York State Thruway and followed it until it pulled into the Pembroke Service Area. Shortly thereafter, troopers located the vehicle parked in the service area lot with the engine running, headlights on and the occupants slumped over asleep.

Further investigation led to the arrest of Doyle and Guastaferro. Doyle was arraigned in the Town of Pembroke Court and released on his own recognizance pending further action. Guastaferro was issued appearance tickets returnable at a later date.

We're guessing Guastaferro's parents (who swapped places with another couple just four years ago) are none too pleased with their daughter's latest shenanigans.
