Suspect's Handsome "Mug Shot" Goes Viral on Police Facebook Page
 
(DEFINITION) Mug shot: a police photograph of a suspect's face and/or profile.

Quote:

Los Angeles Times: Jeremy Meeks, 30, has dreamy eyes, prominent cheekbones and a chiseled face. He is also arrested on felony weapons charges, the Stockton (California USA) police department said.

But that hasn't stopped a steady stream of...post(s) on the department's Facebook page after the mug shots of Meeks and three other suspects were published following their arrests on Wednesday.

By (late Friday), Meeks' arrest photo had garnered more than 75,000 “likes” and 23,000 comments, and had been shared more than 10,000 times.

"Let him go, he is beautiful," one woman wrote.

"Sign me up to be his cell mate," another woman joked.

Others wrote that Meeks deserved his own reality TV show or a Calvin Klein photo shoot. "Seriously," one man said, "he needs an agent like yesterday!"

Police say Meeks was arrested by members of a multi-agency task force who seized four firearms in the operation...
Here's the mug shot of the little darling:


And someone has already gone as far as to interpret how he'd "scrub up":


Since the LA Times is on this story, I suppose someone from Hollywood is on their way to Stockton even as we speak. Put up some drop cloths and "green screens" in the prison exercise yard, and he could make enough to pay his lawyers, court costs, AND restitution!

And of course, think of all the lonely ladies who'll be passing by the lonely law-abiding guys "on the outside" in order to become his "pen pal" or maybe even his long-distance wife -- after all, it's not as though he's a serial killer!

Sorry, girls, forget what I wrote about long-distance wives:

Quote:

Hollywoodlife.com: Just a few hours after the Stockton Police Department posts his mug shot onto their Facebook page on June 18, it had thousands of ‘likes.’ But it turns out he’s married and has a son...

Jeremy Meeks, 30, has become an overnight celebrity, literally! But let’s not forget that he was arrested on weapons charges and previously served...(two years)...for grand theft...

Jeremy’s mom posted this photo of him and his son to a page where she’s trying to raise $25,000 for his bail.

She wrote a message saying: “He has a job and...was on his way to work. With no gang affiliations as per two of the charges. He has old tattoos..which causes him to be stereotyped. He’s my son and he is so sweet. Please help him to get a fair trial or else he’ll be railroaded..."

UPDATE: Thought I was kidding about the agent?
Quote:

Gina Rodriguez, who has guided the careers of Teen Mom star turned porn star Farrah Abraham; Nadya “Octomom” Suleman; and...V. Stiviano, the woman at the center of the Donald Sterling scandal, now represents the 30-year-old convicted felon with chiseled features and dreamy blue eyes.

Rodriguez, who had a career as a porn actress before she changed her focus and founded GR Media Firm, had no qualms about taking on Meeks as a client.

“Everybody has a story, and I, of all people, know that,” Rodriguez told FOX411 exclusively. “The types of personalities that I work with are usually the people who are under fire by the media. If this was a different situation, like if someone was actually hurt or there was violence involved, I definitely would not be taking him on...

"I don’t feel like he got a fair break...If we can help him in any way with his future and help him turn his life around, that’s what I’m about. That’s what I want to do for him.”
And if all his other deals fall through, hon, I'm sure you'll think of some way he can earn a living -- like, maybe...porn?

TMZ (6/27):
In (documents) filed by (his) attorney, Meeks requests "that measures be taken so he may wear civilian clothing that is fitting for his body structure."

...Clearly, Meeks thinks powerful fashion people may be watching ... and god forbid he looks like a schlub.

He also wants the judge to let him take off the shackles in court -- "shackles can interfere with Mr. Meeks' ability to communicate with his lawyer."

TMZ (7/3):
Meeks' attorney will file a motion this morning to prevent the media from taking ANY photographs or video of the hearing set for next week.

It's kind of a last ditch effort...the lawyer says Meeks' mug shot has been shown by tens of thousands of media outlets, and has "become woven in the fabric of pop culture."

His point? There's now so much media interest in Meeks -- who's facing weapons charges -- that if he's seen in jail duds, it will make him look guilty and hurt his chances of getting an unbiased jury.

Independent UK:
The rollercoaster life of convicted “handsome felon” Jeremy Meeks took another twist this week, after the 30-year-old was offered $100,000 to become a porn star.

...(T)he charmingly-named Dogfart Productions...“the undisputed kings of adult interracial entertainment”...said it had offered Meeks the six-figure sum to appear in two scenes a week, saying: “We think Jeremy’s look is absolutely perfect for our network”. It added that it was ready “to make the dreams of hundreds of thousands of horny women and one man looking for a new start come true...”

Huffington Post:
ORIGINAL STORY: Jeremy Meeks, the "hot convict" who set the Internet aflame with his blue-eyed stare and head cocked just so in a recent mug shot, has taken his fame to the next level. The California con, known to some as "Dreamy McMug," has scored a modeling contract with Blaze Modelz...

UPDATE: Reports of Jeremy Meeks, an imprisoned felony suspect well-known for his looks, getting a modeling contract are untrue...A representative from the talent agency working with Meeks...(has said) that Meeks hasn't signed a modeling contract.


About that last story: I think the modeling agency DID make him an offer, but it then got threats of desertion from either their other clients or other models. The porn offer is still open, as far as I know. Stay tuned... :rolleyes:

Update: He's too sexy for his state charges
 
Sounds like our man Meeks has received his first dose of celebrity justice:
Quote:

The Washington Post: Making his first appearance in front of the cameras since his mugshot went viral, convicted felon Jeremy Meeks...faced multiple felony weapons charges. But during a brief court appearance in Stockton on Tuesday, the state agreed to turn the case — and Meeks — over to federal prosecutors...He is now in federal custody, the station reported, facing a single charge: Felon in possession of a firearm.
Or maybe not:
Quote:

That one charge could lead to a prison term of 10 years and a fine of $250,000...A...county district attorney spokesman...said federal gun charges lead to longer prison sentences....

"In the federal legal system, pictures and video are not permitted."
Not permitted? When this guy could earn $250K in ten MONTHS with the right deal? I think THAT'S a crime, LOL! ;)

By, the way, here are the vital stats for male models -- hope he's not too short:
Height: 5’11″ – 6’2″
Weight: 140 to 165 pounds, from minimum to maximum height, respectively
Suit Size: 39 – 40, regular to long
Shirt: 15 - 15 1/2 neck, 32-34 sleeve
Waist: 29″ – 32″

There is no truth to the rumor that Meeks was released from jail only to be murdered by his wife. It's a story from a satire site -- and another example of why satire should only be left to experts like The Onion and the Borowitz Report.
