His mugshot racked up more than 80,000 likes after it was posted on the Stockton Police Department’s Facebook page in 2014 when he was charged with possession of a firearm. Women offered to pay his bail and let him hide out at their houses, despite Meeks being a married man.

And now he is Instafamous too, with more than 30,000 followers. He told ABC last year that he had been putting in time at the gym to be ready for his close-ups when he left prison.
‘I eat healthy. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, dips, burpees, and I stay very active,’ he said.
