Celebrities are once again proving to us that they are only human.
People on social media went into a frenzy this week after the Stockton Police Department released a mugshot that drew thousands of admirers, mainly female. The mugshot was of 30-year-old Jeremy Meeks from California who was arrested on weapons charges with a bail set to $900,000, thecelebritycafe.com reported. Overnight the man’s mugshot gained over 20,000 likes on the facebook page.
Although Meeks may just be your average guy, celebrities have continued to show us that they too make mistakes, and more often than you would think.
Surprisingly Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan have not made the list this year as they try to get everything together and as for Khloe and Scott’s mugshots that she posted as a birthday joke on instagram, the two have not been arrested this year as of yet. With that being said, here are the top ten celebrity arrests of 2014.
