The ‘dreamy’ mugshot of Jeremy Meeks, a convicted felon arrested in California, went viral on a police Facebook page, turning him into an instant celebrity.
Going viral was the last thing on Jeremy Meeks' mind when his mugshot was taken after his arrest on June 18 in a gang crackdown in a crime-ridden area of Stockton, in Northern California. Neither was it the Stockton police department's intention to ride on Meek's previously undiscovered good looks when they uploaded the photo on their Facebook page. But the Internet can be a strange place.
