A Minnesota woman’s mugshot has taken off online after social media users said she bears an uncanny resemblance to pop icon Jennifer Lopez.
Cyrena Anne Quast, 35, was arrested Aug. 30 in Monticello on a theft allegation after she was accused of taking two double packs of power-tool batteries worth about $580 from a store, according to a criminal complaint obtained by TMZ.
Still, it was Quast’s booking photograph—not the alleged theft—that prompted the biggest reaction online.

Commenters were quick to note what they viewed as a striking likeness between Quast and Lopez.
“It really does look like her!” one user wrote, while others argued the pair could easily be mistaken for twins.
One commenter invoked Lopez’s 2002 anthem “Jenny from the Block,” calling Quast “the real Jenny from the block.”
Others leaned into the joke, with one person saying Quast resembled J.Lo after the international star had endured “a really rough week.”

Another social media user suggested Quast could have a future working as Lopez’s stunt double.
Still, not everyone was seeing double, with plenty of social media users pushing back on the supposed “uncanny” resemblance.
“She looks absolutely nothing like her,” one user quipped.
Her alleged return visit raised red flags when an employee recognized Quast from a similar theft days earlier and alerted police, according to the complaint.
