Meet Jeremy Meeks, a 30-year-old felon who was busted in a Stockton, California gun sting.

Meeks’ mugshot quickly went viral yesterday when the Stockton police department posted it online.

While ladies (and quite a few men) fawned over Meeks online, I, for one couldn’t figure out what the big deal was.

Jails are fulla fine felons. What makes that one so special??

Jeremy Meeks can’t figure it out either and he recently spoke out from his jail cell about all the hoopla.

Jeremy Meeks was interviewed recently by a Stockton news station and he says he’s just as shocked as the world is about this newfound online popularity.

It the interview, Meeks states, “I appreciate that. But I just want them to know that this is really not me. Like… I’m not some kingpin.”

[Interpretation: “I might be cute, but I’m broke as hell.”]

On another note, for those inquiring minds who want to know Meeks’ ‘relationship status’ he may not even be single (not that anyone cares nowadays.)

A woman on Facebook is claiming that he’s married with kids, stating:

She also sent along the following photo of Meeks posted up with a woman she claims is his wife…

Whatever the case, Meeks’ male model good looks and baby blue eyes has caused quite a stir online.

What do you think of all the hubbub over Jeremy Meek’s mugshot?

Hot or Nah?
