Her man is in there and people are taking it as a joke, thinking it’s funny talking about his looks, saying all kinds of crazy things.” Meeks was charged with gang membership, firearm possession and a probation violation, reports CBS. He has already spent two years in prison for grand theft in 2002. Despite his stunning good looks, Meeks’ bail was raised to $1 million, says CBS. His arraignment continues June 27th. \[[_CBS_](http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2014/06/20/jeremy-meeks-family-not-amused-by-social-media-fervor-over-his-mugshot/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2911866/wife-of-handsome-felon-upset/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2911866/wife-of-handsome-felon-upset/"},"headline":"Wife of Mugshot Heartthrob Upset Over Attention","datePublished":"2014-06-23T15:22:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:02.540Z","description":"Back off, social media: Blue-eyed convict Jeremy Meeks is off the market","url":"https://time.com/2911866/wife-of-handsome-felon-upset/","keywords":["Newsfeed","California","Crime","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9dc91ab504208065/6986988fcd804d3f05ccb91d/jeremy-meeks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Hannah Goldberg","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/hannah-goldberg/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9dc91ab504208065/6986988fcd804d3f05ccb91d/jeremy-meeks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jeremy Meeks","caption":"Jeremy Meeks","creditText":"Stockton Police Department","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2911866/wife-of-handsome-felon-upset/","name":"Wife of Mugshot Heartthrob Upset Over Attention"}}]}] ```
