Jeremy Meeks, 30, was arrested on five charges of illegal weapon possession and one relating to gangs but that didn’t stop thousands of women and men swooning at his picture. Meeks was one of four men taken into custody during Operation Ceasefire, a mission to curb a recent increase in shootings and robberies in Stockton in northern California. Mr Silva called Meeks “one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area,” but did not detail crimes that he was believed be involved in.
