Story summary
Cyrena Anne Quast, a 35-year-old woman from Monticello, Minnesota, was arrested on August 30 for allegedly stealing two double packs of power tool batteries worth approximately $578-$580 from a local store. The incident led to her mugshot being taken by the Wright County Sheriff's Office and going viral due to her striking resemblance to Jennifer Lopez. Internet users joked about mistaking Quast for J.Lo, with some even playfully rewriting lyrics of popular songs in reference to this likeness.
