The booking photo of a Minnesota woman arrested for theft has drawn widespread online attention after users claimed she resembles singer Jennifer Lopez.

Cyrena Anne Quast, 35, was taken into custody on August 30 in Monticello after allegedly removing two double packs of power tool batteries from a store.

The reported value of the items reached approximately $580.

Social media users quickly compared Quast’s mugshot to the well-known entertainer.

“It really does look like her!” one user wrote.

Others suggested the resemblance was strong enough to confuse the two women.

One commenter referenced Lopez’s 2002 song “Jenny from the Block,” calling Quast “the real Jenny from the block.”

Some users added humorous takes, stating Quast looked like Lopez after “a really rough week.”

Another user proposed Quast could serve as a stunt double.

Not all online reactions agreed with the comparison.

“She looks absolutely nothing like her,” one skeptic posted.

Authorities noted that Quast had reportedly visited the same store days earlier for a similar theft, prompting an employee to contact police upon recognizing her.

She was booked into Wright County Jail on a gross misdemeanor theft charge.
