A ‘criminal 2.0’ set the Web on fire after he and another Wisconsin man sent police on an armed chase for nearly 38 miles.
Malik Harrell, 23, and Stephon Mosby, 22, were arrested and charged in connection with a wild police chase that led to a tactical situation last week in Milwaukee.
But despite his crime, Web swooned over the mugshot of Mosby, 22, especially his piercing green eyes, after he was booked into the Milwaukee County Jail.
Around 7 p.m. on December 28, patrol officers saw a black Buick whose license plate was registered to a Chevrolet. Fox 6 News reported.
When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the Buick sped away, sparking a chase that spanned three counties.
The driver, who was later identified as Harrell, reached speeds of over 90 mph in some residential areas before entering an alley near Twenty Fourth and Fairmount.
Once detained, Mosby, who was later identified as the passenger, emerged holding an “AK 47 style pistol.”
Police ordered Mosby to drop the gun, but he instead ran toward a nearby home before Harrell took off again in the Buick, prompting a tactical team to be called to the residence.
Stephon Mosby, 22, a convicted felon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, set the Web on fire with his recent mugshot after he and another convicted felon sent police on a nearly 38-mile armed chase through three counties.
While Mosby fled the car and ran toward a nearby home, prompting a tactical team to respond, Harrell continued the high-speed chase, even after crashing into another vehicle at one of Milwaukee’s busiest intersections.
While some officers continued the high-speed chase, others stayed behind to surround the house.
Mosby eventually left the house and surrendered to tactical officers nearly 26 minutes after running inside.
Officers found a mask, a hoodie and the gun that Mosby displayed when he got out of the getaway car after searching the home.
Meanwhile, the high-speed chase continued, even after Harrell drove the Buick into oncoming traffic and eventually crashed into another vehicle at the intersection where 51st Avenue, Capitol Drive and Fond du Lac Avenue meet.
But even after crashing at the intersection, which is considered one of the largest and most dangerous intersections with heavy traffic in Milwaukee, Harrell continued to flee.
The chase that covered 37.8 miles and lasted nearly 36 minutes finally came to an end when the Buick broke down near 61st and Appleton.
After searching the car, officers found marijuana, a digital scale and methamphetamine, along with the same firearm Mosby had before, all of which were said to be “indicative of street drug sales and distribution.”
Both men were arrested and charged with various charges on December 29.
But Milwaukee County Wisconsin Current Booked, a Facebook page that shares information about recent arrests in the county with its 38,000 followers, left the Web lusting after Mosby after posting his recent mugshot.
Some viewers expressed how “cute” he was, while others called for “freeing” him from behind bars.
“He’s handsome, damn,” read one comment.
Another added: ‘This little one was a baby in our days. Just as cute!’
Mosby’s mugshot apparently attracted similar attention to that of the original ‘hot criminal’: Jeremy Meeks, now 40 and a former member of the Crips street gang.
The convict, then 30, was arrested again on weapons and gang charges in 2014 after police allegedly found a gun in his trunk during a gang raid called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California.
But Meeks became an overnight sensation after local police shared the camera-friendly suspect on their Facebook page.
Recently booked Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, a Facebook page that shares information about recent arrests in the county with its 38,000 followers, left the Web lusting after Mosby after posting his recent mugshot.
Malik Harrell, 23, was also arrested and charged after he was later identified as the driver of the high-speed chase that ultimately came to an end nearly 36 minutes later when the Buick broke down.
His pose in the mugshot, which showed off his chiseled jaw, sharp cheekbones and baby blue eyes, took the Web by storm, generating thousands of shares, likes, memes and highly suggestive propositions.
The father was in and out of courts in California and Washington for a decade for crimes such as resisting arrest, forgery and grand larceny, for which he served two years.
But her arrest in 2014 captured the world’s attention, including talent agency White Cross Administration, which quickly recognized her potential and offered her a modeling contract while she was still serving her 27 months behind bars.
Meeks has since walked at Milan Fashion Week and has also appeared in campaigns for brands such as Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss.
Additionally, he made his film debut in 2020 with Set off on BET+ and appeared in the 2021 independent film Secret Society.
In April 2024, he announced that his memoirs were available for pre-order.
Meeks, now a father of two, uses his widely followed platforms to speak out against crime and violence.
Mosby, Web’s ‘criminal 2.0’, finally ended up making his first court appearance on Thursday, where his bail was set at $10,000.
Mosby’s mugshot apparently attracted the same attention as the original ‘hot criminal’: Jeremy Meeks, now 40, a former member of the Crips street gang and was arrested on weapons and gang charges in Stockton, California, in 2014.
Meeks’ arrest in 2014 captured the world’s attention and even landed him a modeling contract while he was still behind bars.
He faces seven charges in total: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession with intent to deliver THC and possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine.
Additionally, he is charged with failure to comply with an officer’s order, two counts of felony bail jumping and one misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer.
Harrell made his first court appearance the same day, but his bail was set at a much higher price of $50,000.
He faces five charges in connection with the incident: two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, fleeing vehicle driver causing property damage, and possession with intent to deliver THC and methamphetamine.
