A stunning sorority girl whose glamorous mugshot went viral last week has been arrested a second time.

University of Georgia student Lily Stewart, 20, was arrested by university police on misdemeanor charges of obstruction of a law enforcement officer and loitering/prowling early Sunday morning, TMZ reports.

She was initially booked into jail at 5.26 am, but quickly posted a bond of $4,000 and was released by custody shortly before 11 am, according to records obtained by PEOPLE.

A new mugshot released shows her in a blue prison uniform with her blonde, curly hair parted down the middle. She was once again smiling brightly in the photo.

It remains unclear what led to her arrest on Sunday, but it comes just days after her earlier mugshot picture sent the Internet ablaze with suitors coming out of the woodwork to compliment the sorority girl on her looks.

‘They done locked up miss America,’ one comment read. 

In that case, Stewart was apprehended for speeding in excess of maximum limits on March 8, when she was on her way to a fraternity party at Georgia College and State University.

She had been caught driving at 84mph in a 55mph zone, according to a deposition.

But the arrest only came after she was pulled over for driving too fast a second time that night, she admitted in an interview with the New York Post

‘The officer saw me while he was driving the opposite direction,’ she recounted.

‘He was like, “You’re speeding” and he was super friendly, and I was super friendly, and he wrote me a ticket. 

‘As soon as I got back in the car, I pulled out — and accidentally started speeding again. By the time I caught myself, he pulled me over and arrested me.’ 

She went on to explain that the road she was driving on is a quiet country road where it is easy to lose track of speed, and added that the area was ‘completely empty.’

Under Georgia’s Super Speeder law, drivers can be fined an extra $200 for traveling over 75 mph on two-lane roads or 85 mph on highways. 

In some areas of the state fines for speeding can be up to $1,000, and unpaid fines can result in license suspension. 

However, Stewart’s attorney told TMZ that he has since had the speeding charge dropped after he informed the prosecutor that Lily was being targeted by online trolls who made some vile comments after her mugshot went viral.

She now just has to take a defensive driving course, complete 20 hours of community service and write a paper about the dangers of speeding. 

Yet Stewart initially seemed to have a sense of humor about her viral photo, posting a TikTok with her favorite internet reactions.

‘Guilty of stealing my heart, your honor,’ one of them read.

‘I guess being pretty is a crime now,’ another lovestruck man commented.

Some even offered to pay her bail for the speeding incident, she has said as she dismissed the compliments.

‘I look like a basic white girl and I am,’ Stewart told PEOPLE of her now-viral photo. ‘I think it’s hilarious. One of them was like “We know she has a monogram rain jacket” – which I do.

‘There are some beautiful mugshots, I don’t think mine’s particularly stunning,’ she continued.

‘I actually think it’s a bad photo of me,’ Stewart admitted. ‘I don’t really look the same as I do in that mugshot. I don’t think it’s a great photo of me.’

The college girl has said she was only alerted to the internet attention by her mother, who called her while she was in class to tell her that a Facebook post of her mugshot had over 500 comments. 

‘I understand – it’s surprising that I got arrested for speeding and my mugshot – I was smiling because I always smile for a photo,’ said Stewart, who is in her second year at the University of Georgia –  where she is a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

But Morgan County Sheriff Tyler Hooks, who was involved in her initial arrest, said he hopes she doesn’t go viral once again.

He told PEOPLE he believes Stewart was acting ‘like the laws don’t apply to her’ when she was caught speeding earlier this month, noting that she ‘could have hurt herself or someone else.’

‘We should never glorify this type of behavior,’ the sheriff said. ‘I hope she doesn’t get the attention like she did last time.’

He added that he hopes Stewart has now learned her ‘lesson.’
