Jeremy Ray Meeks (born February 7, 1984)[1] is an American fashion model, actor and convicted felon. A former member of the Crips street gang, Meeks was arrested in 2014 during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California.[2] Afterward, police posted his mugshot on Facebook, which went viral due to his attractive appearance. He was convicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and grand theft.[3] Meeks' mugshot was noticed by modeling agencies and, upon his release from Mendota Federal Correctional Institution in March 2016,[4] he began a modeling career.[5][6]
