Five stars from CW's "The Vampire Diaries" were arrested in middle Georgia for dangling from the side of a bridge and flashing drivers on I-75.

Among the actresses arrested were (clockwise from top left) Candice Accola, Kayla Ewell, Sara Canning and Nina Dobrov.

The actresses -- three who live in Atlanta -- told deputies they were just filming for the show, which aired Thursday night.

But to sheriff's deputies, they were a safety hazard and traffic jam.

Dozens of drivers called 911 on Aug. 22 to report the women hanging from the side of the bridge on the Rumble Road overpass in Smarr -- just north of Macon, Monroe County Sheriff's spokeswoman Allison Selman-Willis said.

"They were flashing drivers, hanging over the bridge," she said. "One girl was holding another girl's ankles and hanging her over the bridge like she was going to drop her."

Sheriff's deputies arrived and checked out cameraman Tyler Shields' footage, which confirmed the drivers' reports.

"Deputy Morgan checked their camera, and discovered numerous photographs of the females hanging, sitting and straddling the bridge," the sheriff's report reads.

Deputies arrested Shields, 27, and actresses, Nina Dobrev, 20, Sara Canning, 22, Kayla Ewell, 24, Krystal Vayda, 23, and Candice Accola, 22.

The six were booked in the Monroe County jail on charges of disorderly conduct. They have since been released on bond, Selman-Willis said.

Dobrev, Canning and Ewell all live in Atlanta, according to the sheriff's report. Vayda lives in New Jersey. Accola and Shields live in California............
