Earlier this year, the handsome mug shot of Jeremy Meeks became a viral hit, earning him the nickname of "hot felon."

Now, the mug shot of Angela Coates has taken Twitter by storm.

Jet confirmed on Twitter that Coates, 22, is a former Jet Beauty of the Week. Coates was allegedly arrested in Georgia on a disorderly conduct charge on Aug 26, with bail set at $360.

Clutch magazine reports that a Twitter account belonging to Coates indicates that she was released from jail the same day she was booked.

That didn’t stop admirers on Twitter offering to pay her bail.

Her Jet profile lists her hobbies as ballet, baking and designing shoes.

Angela Coates finally spoke publicly about her arrest during an interview with "Inside Edition." She also briefly mentioned the incident on her Twitter account.
