A mugshot of Cyrena Anne Quast, a 35-year-old woman from Saint Cloud, Minnesota, has gone viral online after people noticed that she looks similar to singer and actress Jennifer Lopez.
Quast was arrested in Monticello, Minnesota, on August 30, 2026, on a theft charge. The Wright County Sheriff’s Office confirmed her arrest in its public arrest report.
According to reports citing a criminal complaint, Quast was accused of taking two double packs of power-tool batteries worth about $580 from a store in Monticello.
A store employee reportedly recognized her from an earlier alleged theft and contacted police. Quast was later arrested and booked on a gross misdemeanor theft charge.
But it was her mugshot, rather than the theft case, that quickly attracted attention online.
Many social media users said Quast looked like Jennifer Lopez, with some people saying they had to look twice before realizing the photo was not the famous singer.
The comparison became even more popular because of Lopez's 2002 hit “Jenny From the Block.” Some users changed the song's title in jokes about the Minnesota woman's arrest, including references to “Jenny from D-Block.”
Other users joked that the resemblance was so close that the photo looked like a “glitch in the matrix.”
The attention has made Quast's arrest photo widely shared across social media, turning a local Minnesota court case into an international internet story.
According to reports, Quast was released the day after her arrest. Online records also show previous arrests involving offenses including drug possession, DWI, fleeing police and providing false identification.
The viral reaction is focused on the resemblance to Lopez, but the theft allegations remain a legal matter and should be treated as allegations unless established in court.
For now, the unusual resemblance between Quast and Jennifer Lopez has made her mugshot one of the latest unexpected viral stories online.
