According to the FBI, about 29 percent of the American population has a criminal record. Of course, that can mean a lot of different things. People go to jail for everything from dealing opioids to “mischief,” which kind of just means being a public nuisance or destroying property.

But when you’re hauled in and it’s time to pose for your mugshot, you might not exactly look your best. So, it’s no wonder that when someone takes a good mugshot, it tends to go viral.

Well, let’s not just say a good mugshot. Let’s say an extremely, distractingly attractive mugshot.

Believe it or not, there are entire social media accounts devoted to sharing photos of attractive felons. These people were arrested for all kinds of things from the mild to the embarrassing to the seriously bad, but what unites them is they all look like they could be models.

And guess what? More than one attractive criminal has used their mugshot as a launching pad to a modeling career. Others have seen theirs as a chance to turn their life around. Unfortunately, the internet is forever, so social media still hasn’t stopped sharing these attractive mugshots — even if the subjects have left behind their life of crime.

Here are 50 people the internet agrees have the hottest mugshots.

1. A Halloween party turned out poorly for her

Rachel Glenna Fisher was at a Halloween party in Marietta, Georgia when she ran into the DJ who was dressed as a clown. It’s unclear exactly what transpired, but Fisher was charged with kicking him in the face. She was said to be intoxicated. However, she had no problem giving the police station camera a saucy eyebrow lift.

2. She earned the nickname “Prison Bae”

When Sarah Seawright’s mugshot was discovered, it began to circulate the internet, earning her the hashtag nickname #PrisonBae. She was arrested in April 2016 for failing to appear in court after a 2014 arrest for careless driving.

3. She liked her mugshot

Alysa Bathrick was arrested in 2014 under suspicion of dealing Xanax. She only spent a couple of hours in jail, but she tweeted about it when she got out: “Surrendered myself at 7 a.m., got released at 11:30 a.m. F*** what you heard. And my mugshot’s cute.”

4. Is that gold in her ears?

Mary Catherine Hunt was arrested after her engagement went sour. Her former fiancé, Scott Mitchell, said that after their breakup, Hunt stole $2.1 million worth of gold and jewelry from his private safe.

5. Weapons charges or the next male model?

Jacob Miller from California was a sheriff’s son, but he still got entangled with the law in 2011. At that time, he was arrested and charged with narcotics and weapons violations. But he’s got the cheekbones of a man on a magazine cover!

6. His mugshot turned into a modeling career

After his mugshot was released and the internet found him criminally handsome (get it?), 33-year-old Jeremy Meeks went viral. Once released, Meeks was offered a modeling contract and is now in a relationship with a European heiress.

7. She was a former model

Tara Lambert, 33, was once a model. But, she was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Why? She reportedly hired a hitman to kill her husband’s former wife for a total of $125.

8. She’s so pretty, but she can’t spell

Allegedly, Shannon Csapilla thought a woman was cheating with her boyfriend. So, she decided to key the word “wore” into her car. Yes, you read that right — she left out the all-important “h” in the word. She was charged with first-degree criminal mischief.

9. He also went viral for his mugshot

Sean Kory landed in jail on Halloween 2014 after he allegedly assaulted a man who was dressed as a reporter from Fox News. However, when his mugshot was released, the internet immediately dubbed him “Hot Mugshot Guy.”

10. Now she’s a reality star

You probably know Kathryn Dennis from the Bravo reality show, Southern Charm. But when she was 20, she got arrested for underage drinking, which is kind of a silly charge, don’t you think? She’s teary but beautiful in her mugshot.

11. His gorgeous mugshot got him a modeling contract

Meeks isn’t the only one to get a modeling contract after a mugshot. For 20-year-old Mekhi Alante Lucky, 2016 wasn’t a good year. He was arrested four times. But due to a condition called heterochromia, meaning having two different-colored eyes, Lucky’s mugshot went viral and earned him a modeling job.

12. She was a former beauty queen

Lorena Tavera was once a beauty queen, and it’s no surprise why. She’s absolutely beautiful. After being crowned Miss El Paso Teen USA and Miss El Paso USA, Tavera was arrested and charged with shoplifting.

13. She thinks the situation is pretty funny

Although nly in jail for a few hours after her 2014 arrest for disorderly conduct, it was enough to earn 22-year-old Angela Coates some internet fame for her lovely mugshot. Now, Coates thinks it’s kind of a funny story.

14. Do you think he likes tattoos?

We don’t know this man’s identity, but we do know a couple of things about him: 1. He’s had some trouble with the law. 2. He has a pair of absolutely beautiful blue eyes. 3. He’s kind of into tattoos.

15. She looks like a fairy princess

Unfortunately, this young lady was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance. But there’s no doubt she’s beautiful and she knows how to do a heck of a cat-eye!

16. That’s an elaborate scam

Jessie Alexander was friends with A-list celebrities like Mel Gibson and Bradley Cooper. However, that didn’t stop her from being arrested on charges of posing as a TV producer to trick businesses into giving her thousands of dollars to fund her lifestyle.

17. He’s got some dreamy eyes!

We don’t know who this man is or what charges he was facing, but he’s quite the looker. Why is it that boys always get the prettiest eyes?

18. Sorry, she’s taken

When Megan McCullough was arrested on DUI charges in 2010, she never expected her mugshot to take off and earn her fame around the world. It must be kind of awkward having your image known throughout the internet for that reason, but McCullough has since moved on and hasn’t had another run-in with the law. In fact, she said her internet fame was a wake-up call.

19. Is she a model or a criminal?

When Gabrielle Hill was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia, she had to take a mugshot just like everyone else. However, Hill’s mugshot looks like it could be her headshot for a modeling agency.

20. The man has cheekbones

It’s not known who this man is or what his charges were, but dang if he doesn’t cut a striking image. His blond hair, green eyes, and handsome profile aren’t exactly standard in a prison block.

21. Sir, where is your shirt?

Apparently, in Missouri, they let you take mugshots without a shirt on. Or maybe, they only let you do that if you’re really handsome.

22. Dad’s not going to be happy

Sarah Furay was 19 in 2015 when she was arrested and charged with possession and delivery of meth, cocaine, and other drugs. We’re not sure why she’s grinning from ear-to-ear in her photo since her dad is a former DEA worker.

23. Abercrombie and Fitch is looking for their next model

This guy was brought in on charges that are unclear, but we can’t help but notice that he looks like he belongs on a poster. He’s got a handsome hipster vibe going on.

24. Wait, he looks familiar…

Yup, that’s Justin Bieber, who looked like he was posing for a photoshoot after his arrest in 2014. Bieber was charged with driving while intoxicated, but he appears more as though he’s walking the red carpet.

25. She did what now?

We don’t know this lady’s name or the circumstances of her arrest, but she was charged with allegedly stabbing her boyfriend seven times. Who knows? Maybe it was self-defense. But she’s undeniably beautiful.

26. This man has some intensely blue eyes

If you’re a fan of the show “Gossip Girl,” you might recognize this actor as Chace Crawford. He was arrested on charges of marijuana possession. Even celebrities have their bad luck.

27. People said she was so beautiful, they wanted to free her

Mirella Ponce was 20 years old when she was arrested for the possession of a loaded firearm and found to be a member of a local gang. But within a short time, her mugshot had received thousands of likes on the Fresno Police Facebook page.

28. This blonde beauty

Christina Marie Carroll gained attention after her 2017 mugshot. Carroll allegedly struck a 57-year-old man in a motorized wheelchair, killing him. Then, she fled the scene. Her attorney says that although it was a tragedy, it was also an accident.

29. He looks like a romance novel model

This guy’s a fitness and romance novel model, so naturally, his mugshot’s charming. In 2017, he was arrested and charged in connection to a series of robberies. Maybe he’ll star on the cover of a novel about his life.

30. Yet another beauty queen

Vanessa Barcelo may have been crowned Miss Miami Lakes in 2017 but she wasn’t doing so well in December of the previous year. Barcelo allegedly attacked someone with a baseball bat at a holiday party she hosted, leading to charges of aggravated assault.

31. Yikes

Eleonore Stern was arrested in December 2015 after she got into a physical struggle with a Florida Highway Patrol officer. Surveillance video shows Stern kicking the officer in the groin before being subdued.

32. He looks like your brother’s cute friend

This guy has a total boy next door attractiveness. He was probably on the football team and friends with your older brother. You definitely wrote this guy’s name in your journal.

33. Beauty queens and the law don’t mix

Katie Rees was once Miss Nevada, so she’s used to being recognized for her beauty. However, she might not be used to being recognized for being arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and prescription drugs.

34. She saw her opportunity

Not many people look at mugshots and wonder, “Oh, who did her hair?” But Shia Milan Yearwood was banking on just that. After her 2018 arrest, Yearwood used her mugshot to promote her own hair salon.

35. Razzle dazzle ‘em?

Remember, kids: when you’re being hauled in to answer to the law, try giving the camera a cocky half-smile during your mugshot. It probably won’t work, but you’ll fluster all the security guards.

36. And she’s pretty proud of it

This lady was arrested under charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and driving while intoxicated. But the internet can’t help but notice that she’s got a California girl, Colbie Callait kind of beauty.

37. It’s not Mary Jane, but she had Mary Jane

This lady bears an uncanny resemblance to Kirsten Dunst, don’t you think? But no, it’s just another beautiful blonde lady who was brought in on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

38. Here’s another strategy

If you can’t dazzle them with your attractiveness, here’s another strategy: flash them the brightest, most charming smile you can. That’s got to be good for something, right?

39. That’s quite the smile

This gal was arrested for trespassing, which, frankly, could mean a lot of different things. She doesn’t seem too worried about what the future holds, flashing an ear-to-ear grin as she poses for her mugshot.

40. Her eyes are as intense as her past

We don’t know this woman’s name, but she was arrested and charged with burglary. But when she posed for her mugshot, she skipped the smile and instead threw the camera an intense, sultry look.

41. Charge: staring handsomely

Yes, this guy is handsome and chiseled — not to mention that hair is on point. But his eyes are such a gorgeous shade of blue that it should be illegal. Maybe that’s why he got arrested.

42. Don’t worry, it’ll be legal one day

This woman was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, which in all honesty, probably won’t even be a crime soon. Whatever her charges, she could be a mascara model with those gorgeous lashes.

43. Eye makeup on point

Sure, she looks tired and like she might be tearing up a little, but none of that can hide how pretty she is! She was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance, which could mean a lot of things.

44. Channeling his inner Dean

This guy is a dead ringer for James Dean, with his big eyes and his crooked scowl. Maybe not as suave as the Rebel Without a Cause, but not too shabby, either.

45. Not a proponent of the war on drugs

This lady was arrested and charged with possession of hydromorphone, which is an opioid used to treat serious pain. Of course, there’s no denying she could probably be a model — assuming her stint in prison is over.

46. I feel like he’s about to make me laugh

Is anyone else getting a little bit of a Bo Burnham vibe from this guy? He’s really cute — he went to your high school and was way too cool and handsome to talk to you.

47. The earring really makes it

This male model — I mean, arrestee — was hauled in on unknown charges. But his real crime is that he is AGGRESSIVELY attractive. Who doesn’t find a guy with an earring and a button-down attractive?

48. She did WHAT?

This gorgeous blonde woman was brought in on charges of driving through a Waffle House. Yep, you read that right. I want to know the rest of the story.

49. Flynn Rider’s got nothing on this smolder

This handsome guy was brought in on charges of trespassing, but he’s mastered the art of the mugshot. Just look straight into the camera and be handsome.

50. Charge: being criminally attractive

I mean, he was also arrested on charges of distributing dangerous controlled substances, but you know, also being really, really handsome.
