Minnesota Theft Suspect’s Mugshot Goes Viral Online

A mugshot of 35-year-old Cyrena Anne Quast has gone viral after social media users noted her striking resemblance to Jennifer Lopez. Quast was arrested in Monticello, Minnesota, on Aug. 30, 2026, and charged with gross-misdemeanor theft after allegedly taking two packs of power-tool batteries valued at roughly $578 to $580. A store employee reportedly recognized her from a similar alleged theft two days earlier and provided police with details about a white Subaru; authorities say Quast later admitted taking the batteries. She was released the following day, while online commenters joked that the image showed Lopez and referenced the singer’s hit “Jenny from the Block.” Records cited by several outlets also describe Quast’s prior arrests for allegations including drug possession, driving while intoxicated, theft, fleeing police and traffic offenses.
