A new 'hot felon' has taken the world by storm and been snapped up by a modelling agency after their police mugshot went viral.

Mekhi Alante Lucky lives up to his name, avoiding jail time after being arrested on a string of charges.

Racking up multiple mugshots his photos went viral with the help of condition heterochromia, meaning his eyes are two different colours, one blue and one brown.

The 20-year-old, also dubbed ' Prison Bae', has a lengthy rap sheet after being arrested five times between April and December last year.

He was arrested on charges of speeding in a stolen vehicle, alleged assault on a female, alleged breaking and entering and allegedly resisting a public officer.

But Mr Lucky, from North Carolina, lived up to his name and avoided any jail time.

And his luck has turned around after being signed to Atlanta-based St Claire's Modeling Agency, and has already strutted his stuff in high-end fashion shoots.

Since being introduced by the agency last week he has already amassed 20,000 followers on Instagram.

He follows in the footsteps of Jeremy Meeks, who shot to fame in 2014 after his mugshot went viral.

The original hot felon, Mr Meeks, of California, was arrested for grand theft and firearm charges.

But after his release from prison he was quickly signed to talent agency White Cross Management.

He has since walked catwalks - including New York Fashion Week - and appeared in fashion shoots.

Mr Meeks, 32, has been romantically linked to Chloe Green, Topshop heiress, after leaving his wife, Melissa Meeks.
