Juicy Joe was indicted Tuesday for false identification and impersonating his brother, Pietro, to obtain a New Jersey driver’s license after his own was suspended following a DUI conviction.

And this wasn't even a few years ago, when no one knew who he was and he may have gotten away with it. This was June 2010.

So this was long after the infamous table-flipping that made Teresa Giudice a household name. Joe must have been crazy to think no one would notice him pretending to be Pietro.

False identification is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and impersonation by 18 months. "They didn't even catch me driving," Giudice told People earlier this year. "They came to my house and said you're driving with your brother's license and then they got me with some kind of stupid charge."

At first the Giudices' biggest problems were all finance-related, with rumors swirling about the couple losing their giant home to foreclosure, all of which Teresa adamantly denied. Now she’s got nothing to deny -- if the court says Joe's in trouble, Joe is indeed in trouble. However, it wouldn’t be much of a shocker to watch Teresa spin a web of excuses for the charges, and try to explain that, once, again, he’s not the one at fault.

This may be a horrible thing to say, but luckily for those of us who follow the Real Housewives of New Jersey religiously, all of this is going down while season four of the hit Bravo series is being filmed. Looks like Giudice family drama will once again be at the center of the new season.

Teresa and the rest of the housewives have remained quiet on Twitter about the indictment, which is surprising, seeing as the ladies are usually quick to call Teresa out about her and Joe’s troubles.

In 2009, the couple filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, citing $11 million in debt. Joe was later accused of hiding assets from the court. When will it finally end for the Giudices? Let's hope it's after RHONJ departs the airwaves.

Oh, here's that table-flipping for you, one more time.
