A Northern Carolina man is now in custody after being arrested on felony weapons charges; but it's his attractive mugshot that's making headlines and history.

Celebrities React To Justin Bieber's Mug Shot On Twitter

Jeremy Meeks, 33, is facing five weapons charges as well as one gang. That didn't stop his mugshot from getting more than 49,000 likes on his booking photo that was released on the Stockton Police Department's official Facebook page. Spokesman for the now infamous police department, Officer Joseph Silva, said this is a history making moment.

"I have not seen that many likes for a photo before."

At the time of publish, the picture has also snagged more than 14,500 comments and has been shared more than 5,000 times.

The idea of him being an alleged criminal didn't stop the ladies from swooning over his picture.

One wrote, "OMG sooooooooo sexy!!! we need to go get him!!! YUM!"

While another added, "Wow he is cute ;)'

One woman even suggested the mug shot be used as a headshot for an actor career.

"This guy has an opportunity to turn his life around because of this picture. Hopefully he will become a famous actor and I can look at him more often. Handsome man..."

Still, others weren't convinced nor impressed by the handsome picture.

One man attempted to educate the swooners on Meeks' past. He wrote, "O if only you ladies knew what his tattoos mean. He is probably one of the nicest and has the ability to be the nastiest person you would ever meet. And it's not what he has been caught for but what he has not been caught for that would scare you."

According to the post, Meeks was arrested when Stockton police executed Operation Ceasefire, an attempt to reduce the recent boost in robberies and shootings in Weston Ranch,a small city in Northern California with a population of about 300,000.

While his mugshot is described as "sexy," Silva made it clear that Meeks' looks shouldn't fool anyone.

He dubbed Meeks, "one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area."

He is being held in lieu of $900,000 bail. He is set to be arraigned Friday.

Silva was not aware of whether he has a lawyer.
