University of Georgia Student Lily Stewart Arrested for Second Time in March

Lily Stewart, whose viral mugshot brought her online fame, faces new charges of obstruction and loitering just weeks after her first arrest for speeding.

Lily Stewart, 20, was arrested on March 23, 2025, by University of Georgia police on misdemeanor charges of obstruction of a law enforcement officer and loitering.
She was booked at the Athens–Clarke County jail around 5:30 a.m. and released on bond of over $4,000 later that morning.
The circumstances surrounding her second arrest remain unclear, with no further details provided by law enforcement or her attorney.
Stewart's first arrest on March 8 for speeding gained significant attention online after her smiling mugshot went viral, leading to thousands of new social media followers.
Her attorney confirmed that the speeding charge from her first arrest was dismissed, but has declined to comment on her latest legal issues.
