From criminals to models: hijacker got a contract thanks to a mugshot

20-year-old fur thief Alante Lucky from North Carolina got a modeling contract thanks to a mugshot.

Mekhi was arrested in 2016 for speeding and car theft. When the police published the photo, he was immediately nicknamed "the cute prisoner."

Due to the fact that the Bellows have eyes of different colors, it immediately became popular on the Internet. Eventually, he was approached by Claire's Modeling Agency, which is based in Atlanta.

The contract with the modeling agency was concluded despite the bright criminal past of the Mecha. From April to December 2016, he was arrested five times — for car theft, assault on a woman, burglary and resisting the authorities. He is also afraid of trouble because of a possible violation of parole.

It can be said that Mekhi followed in the footsteps of another lawbreaker who became a model. A few years ago, Jeremy Meeks won the title of "the most beautiful criminal".
