A Minnesota woman’s booking has become an unexpected internet sensation after social media users noticed she bears a striking resemblance to Jennifer Lopez.
Cyrena Anne Quast, 35, was arrested on Aug. 30 in Monticello, Minnesota, on a theft charge, according to a criminal complaint obtained by TMZ. She is accused of stealing two double packs of power tool batteries valued at around $580 from a store.
But it was Quast’s mugshot, not the alleged crime, that captured widespread attention online.
Social Media Users See Double
After the booking circulated, commenters quickly pointed out the apparent likeness to the pop superstar.
“It really does look like her!” one user exclaimed, while others suggested the two could pass for twins.
Another referenced Lopez’s 2002 hit “Jenny from the Block,” calling Quast “the real Jenny from the block.”
Some took the comparison even further. One commenter said Quast looked like J.Lo if the global superstar “had a really rough week.” Another suggested Quast might have a future as Lopez’s stunt double.
Not Everyone Agrees
Still, the resemblance was far from unanimous. Plenty of social media users pushed back on the supposed “uncanny” similarity.
“She looks absolutely nothing like her,” one user quipped.
Arrest Details
According to the complaint, Quast’s alleged return visit to the store raised red flags when an employee recognized her from a similar theft days earlier and alerted police.
Quast was arrested and booked into the Wright County Jail on a gross misdemeanor theft charge.
