Georgia sorority girl seen in 'smiling' mugshot arrested again weeks after 1st run in with police

The University of Georgia sorority girl known as “Miss America” due to her beaming mugshot that spread widely on the internet, has been taken into custody once again, marking her second arrest in a matter of weeks. 

Lily Stewart, a sophomore at the University of Georgia affiliated with the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, was apprehended for the second time in March. Her initial arrest occurred earlier in the month for driving well above the speed limit.

As per online records from Athens-Clarke County, Stewart, who is 20 years old, was taken into custody on Sunday, March 23, on charges of obstructing a law enforcement officer and loitering/prowling.

Stewart has since posted her $4,600 bond and was released from police custody shortly before 11 a.m.

Several people even offered to pay her bail.

Stewart told the outlet that she has gained thousands of new social media followers from her viral mugshot. 

“I look like a basic white girl, and I am,” Stewart said, adding, “I think it’s hilarious. One of them was like, ‘We know she has a monogram rain jacket’ — which I do.”

“There are some beautiful mug shots. I don’t think mine’s particularly stunning,” Stewart explained. “I actually think it’s a bad photo of me. If you see me in person, I don’t really look the same as I do in that mug shot. I don’t think it’s a great photo of me.”

Following her first arrest, Stewart interviewed with TMZ and described the entire ordeal to the outlet, claiming being booked into jail was “the craziest experience she had ever seen.”

“I paid my bond, got my mugshot, and another officer drove me to the tow yard where they took my car. It was definitely an experience and never experienced anything like that, hopefully never again.”
