Athens, Ga. (WDNews) – A University of Georgia student who gained internet fame for smiling in her mugshot is back behind bars – for the second time this month.
Lily Stewart, 20, was arrested early Sunday morning by the University of Georgia Police Department. Jail records show she was booked into the Athens–Clarke County jail around 5:30 a.m. on charges of loitering and obstructing a law enforcement officer, both misdemeanors.
She posted a $4,600 bond and was released around 11 a.m.
Authorities have not released details on what led to Stewart’s latest arrest. Her new mugshot has not been made public, though a request has reportedly been submitted by media outlets.
Stewart first made headlines after her March 8 arrest for excessive speeding. Her glam appearance in that mugshot — complete with styled hair, pearl earrings, and a big smile — quickly went viral. Social media users dubbed her “Miss America” and joked about her look with tongue-in-cheek comments like, “Guilty of stealing my heart, your honor.”
She told PEOPLE she was on her way to a party when she was pulled over twice for speeding. The second stop resulted in her being taken to jail.
Stewart later posted on TikTok about the attention, calling the reactions “hilarious.”
