ATHENS, Ga. — A University of Georgia student whose glamorous mugshot went viral has been arrested again, this time by campus police.

She and three others are accused of going into a closed campus building.
Police found her hiding by Gate 10 of Sanford Stadium “in a crouched position, attempting to hide behind a brick wall,” according to her arrest report.
When police spoke with her “about why she was being detained, she stated ‘Was it the trespassing? Truly that was actually my fault,’” the report said.

She told the police officer she ran when she saw them because, the report said, “‘I didn’t want to get caught doing anything bad because I am out on bond right now.‘”
Stewart’s first run-in with the law happened on March 8 when a Georgia State Patrol trooper pulled her over twice in less than 10 minutes for speeding in Morgan County.
The trooper first caught her driving 79 mph in a 55-mph zone. Then after he pulled her over and let her go, he clocked Stewart speeding again, this time going 84 mph, according to the incident report.

Stewart, who’s from St. Simons Island, told PEOPLE magazine that she was heading to a party in Milledgeville when she was arrested and booked at the Morgan County jail. She didn’t expect her smiling mugshot to take off like it did.
“There are some beautiful mug shots. I don’t think mine’s particularly stunning,” Stewart told PEOPLE. “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.”
Since her arrest, Stewart’s booking photo has been seen by millions since then.
