Sources connected with Danielle tell us she was at a friend's house Wednesday in Boynton Beach, Florida, hanging outside when her friend pulled out a joint. Danielle insists she was not indulging, but cops rolled by, saw the girls and made their move.

We're told cops asked the 2 girls if they were both smoking but neither would rat out the other, so the cops gave both citations.

We've reached out to the police dept. but so far no comment.
