Afterward, police posted his mugshot on Facebook, which went viral due to his physical attractiveness. He was convicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and grand theft. Meeks' mugshot was noticed by modeling agencies and, upon his release from Mendota Federal Correctional Institution in March 2016, he began a modeling career.
