Jeremy Meeks, the “hot mugshot guy” who went viral back in 2014 due to his exotic looks has been released from jail—and is now starting a career in modeling.  

I'm overwhelmed and grateful for what lies ahead.
Jeremy Meeks

He served a 27-month sentence for felony weapon charges after being arrested in a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, CNN reported.

It seems like Meeks is ready to explore his options but doesn’t seem to be blinded by the opportunities ahead of him. While incarcerated, he was counting down days he'd be release from jail so that he could finally reunite with his wife and children.
