A sorority student who went viral for her smiling mugshot has revealed the wild reason she was arrested for a second time.

University of Georgia student Lily Stewart went viral after cops released her stunning mugshot following an arrest for speeding earlier this month.

The 20-year-old, who is a member of the Alpha Chi sorority, looked unusually glamorous for a police mugshot and even posed with a smile, earning her the moniker of 'Miss America' and 'mugshot shawty' online.

Since then, the social media sensation has been arrested for a second time, for allegedly obstructing a law enforcement officer and loitering/prowling, according to records from the Athens-Clarke County Sheriff's Office.

The police report, obtained by TMZ, says campus officers responded to an intrusion alarm at around 3am on Sunday (March 23), where they found Stewart and three other students.

When cops approached the group, they attempted to flee the scene and all students were quickly intercepted, with the exception of Stewart, who hid behind a brick wall outside the school's football stadium.

Police later questioned the sorority student, who told them she ran because she 'didn't want to get caught doing anything bad because I am out on bond right now'.

She added: "Was it the trespassing? Truly that was actually my fault."

The arresting officer did note in his police report that there was no indication she had been drinking alcohol, and another member of the party claimed they were simply trying to get back to their sorority.

Since both of the charges against her are misdemeanors, Stewart was released from detention the same morning after posting her $4,600 bond.

Since her original arrest, the student has been sharing some of her favorite comments she's received on social media, including some hilarious reasons as to why she was speeding in the first place.

"She was tryin to get the last pumpkin latte of the season," one joked, while another said: "Must have been a sale at Lululemon."

"That smile says my daddy is an attorney," a third joked, while a fifth added: "Your honor, she was just trying to get to brunch for bottomless mimosas."

Fortunately for Stewart, her attorney has since told TMZ the speeding charge has been dropped.

"I didn't know you could get arrested for speeding, but when he put those handcuffs on, I just shut up," the student said.

"I was like, 'I'll just go to the jail with you. I'll figure it out', because I was scared."
