 Christopher Kohrs, a San Francisco police officer known affectionately on social media as the “Hot Cop of the Castro,” was arrested early Sunday morning after he allegedly plowed into two men in the city’s North Beach neighborhood and ran off. 
 
 Kohrs, 38, was off duty and driving westbound in his 2009 Dodge Charger on Broadway near Montgomery Street when he slammed into the victims, who were crossing the street around 2:20 a.m., police said. The driver ditched the car at the scene and ran away. Police found that the Charger was registered to Kohrs. 
 
 Officers later contacted and arrested Kohrs, who was booked in the San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of two felony counts of hit-and-run involving injury. 
 
 The victims, two men in their 40s, had serious injuries and were rushed by ambulance to San Francisco General Hospital, police said. 
 
 The extent of the victims’ injuries was not immediately known, but police said the men were expected to survive. Investigators were interviewing witnesses and reviewing security video at the scene to piece together the circumstances of the wreck. 
 
 Kohrs started getting attention for his chiseled looks and bulging muscles last year when residents in the Castro district, where he often patrolled from the city’s Park Station, began posting his photos on social media. 
 
 Fans have since dedicated a Facebook page to Kohrs, where people can post pictures and articles. The latest post features a shirtless Kohrs as the May 2016 calendar model for Fit Cops, an online clothing retailer marketed to police officers. 
 
 In August 2014, he used his fame for charity, going shirtless at a benefit event for the Officer Down Memorial Fund, where he did the “Ice Bucket Challenge.” 
 
 Anyone with information about Sunday’s incident was urged to call San Francisco police investigators at (415) 575-4444. ||||| Story highlights A Facebook page featuring San Francisco police officer Chris Kohrs is a viral hit 
 
 "The Hot Cop of Castro" loves his job and sees a benefit to the unplanned publicity 
 
 "It has strengthened the bond between the community and the police," he says 
 
 "I've never met the person that created the Facebook page. I'm not even on Facebook" 
 
 If a blue-eyed, chisel-cheeked mugshot can make an Internet sensation of a criminal suspect, can the law be far behind? 
 
 In this case, it's a lawman -- specifically, a San Francisco street cop whose in-uniform images are making him a cyber-celebrity with a badge. 
 
 San Francisco Police Officer Chris Kohrs -- the "Hot Cop of Castro" to his fans and friends -- became a viral sensation after a stranger created a Facebook page in his honor , nicknaming him after Castro Street, where Kohrs was posted at the time. The Facebook page has received close to 19,000 likes in about three weeks. 
 
 "I was out there one day doing traffic control and some guys asked if they could have photos of me and I consented. It kind of went viral from there," the 36-year-old Kohrs said in a phone interview with CNN. 
 
 Kohrs' Facebook page creator Nathan Tatterson told CNN it all started with his friend's photo of Kohrs sitting on his motorcycle. 
 
 Officer Chris Kohrs enjoys dining out, watching movies, snowboarding, riding motorcycles, traveling and water skiing. 
 
 "Other people in the neighborhood starting recognizing the 'Hot Cop of Castro' and started taking and posting their own photos," said Tatterson. "Once people started recognizing Officer Kohrs, they started chatting with him and realized that he wasn't just a pretty face. He was funny, nice, respectful, with a huge dose of charm and humility. He also clearly loved his job." 
 
 User comments ranged from praise ("One of San Francisco's Police Finest!") to a touch risqué ("Crime has increased in the Castro with men of all stripes begging to be arrested and punished on the spot."). 
 
 Kohrs, who has been on the police force for six years, said it was "all a shock" to him. 
 
 "I've never met the person that created the Facebook page. I'm not even on Facebook," he said laughing. 
 
 His new-found fame follows on the trail of convicted felon Jeremy Meeks, whose mugshot stirred a collective swoon nationwide after authorities in Stockton, California, posted it on social media in June. 
 
 In his case, Kohrs sees an unintended, broader benefit of the online publicity for one cop on the street. "It has strengthened the bond between the community and the police," he says. 
 
 Kohrs laughs at the suggestion of becoming a model or an actor -- he is dedicated to his job of service as an officer, including responding to 911 calls, and he takes the work seriously. 
 
 "We are called upon to respond to some pretty bad situations and although we can't reverse what has been done, we can make a bad situation better. We can make the city a better place to live, and I think police officers have a big impact on the health and safety of the community," he said. 
 
 "I'm real happy here. If it's going to be this good I'm going to stay," he said. 
 
 His Facebook fan base includes both women and men equally, with the most-repeated questions being whether he is straight or gay, single or married. 
 
 Straight, single, no kids, he said. 
 
 And for the record: Kohrs enjoys dining out, watching movies, snowboarding, riding motorcycles, traveling and water skiing. ||||| Witnesses say @SFPD Ofc.

 Gina Rodriguez, who has guided the careers of “Teen Mom”-star-turned-porn-star Farrah Abraham, Nadya “Octomom” Suleman and most recently, V. Stiviano, the woman at the center of the Donald Sterling scandal, now represents the 30-year-old convicted felon with chiseled features and dreamy blue eyes. 
 
 Rodriguez, who had a career as a porn actress before she changed her focus and founded GR Media Firm, had no qualms about taking on Meeks as a client. 
 
 “Everybody has a story, and I, of all people, know that,” Rodriguez told FOX411 exclusively. “The types of personalities that I work with are usually the people who are under fire by the media. If this was a different situation, like if someone was actually hurt or there was violence involved, I definitely would not be taking him on. But we don’t know Jeremy’s full story yet, and I don’t feel like he got a fair break. I really don’t. If we can help him in any way with his future and help him turn his life around, that’s what I’m about. That’s what I want to do for him.” 
 
 Community service officer Rosie Calderon of the Stockton Police Department had no comment on Meeks’ sudden Internet fame, citing that his criminal investigation was ongoing. But Calderon did admit that the worldwide interest in Meeks was “unbelievable.”

 Meeks faces a tough road ahead. He is currently being held in the San Joaquin County Jail on 11 felony counts related to firearm possession, street gang membership and parole violations. His bail is set at $1.1 million. 
 
 “It’s insane,” Rodriguez said of Meeks’ high bail. “I’m not exactly sure why it’s so much money. That’s what we’re trying to figure now. We’re trying to secure him some of these deals so that when he gets out, it can change his life, literally. 
 
 Some of those deals include modeling contracts and reality shows. 
 
 “We’ve spoken with four production companies and three different modeling agencies,” Rodriguez explained. “A lot of TV shows that want to cover it, a lot of news shows. It’s just been crazy, the type of media attention that he’s gotten.” 
 
 One modeling agency in particular is eager to sign Meeks. 
 
 “Jim Jordan, who owns White Cross Management, is very interested in Jeremy,” said Rodriguez. “We’ve had tons of people trying to get interviews with Jeremy, which I think right now is a little bit overwhelming for the family. Their main concern is really trying to get him out.” 
 
 Meeks’ family has set up a GoFundMe account to help raise money for his bail, and has raised a paltry $4,850 so far. 
 
 “We’ve been talking with attorneys and doing everything we can to get him the proper legal representation,” said Rodriguez. “I know that everyone is reporting on how he’s a criminal and he doesn’t deserve [fame] and he’s got this past gang affiliation, but that’s just it-- that’s the key word, that’s his past. Unfortunately, it was all brought up again because of his mug shot being put out and then everyone started digging into his past. I think that everyone is focusing on his [alleged] gang affiliation, and he’s not [a gang member]. He’s a family man… In my opinion, I don’t know if [law enforcement] is upset with him, because he got so much attention [for his mug shot], but it wasn’t his fault. They posted his picture and the media ran with it because of the way he looks. I think that if he has a chance to have an amazing career, and change his life for his family, that’s the ultimate rags to riches story.” 
 
 But not everyone is wild about Meeks’ sudden fame. 
 
 “This is a clear sign of the impending apocalypse,” Los Angeles criminal defense attorney and host of Investigation Discovery’s “Deadly Sins” Darren Kavinoky told FOX411 of Meeks landing a Hollywood agent. “It’s totally insane and it speaks poorly of where we are. We are so enamored with appearance and attractiveness that we are willing to totally disregard that we’re talking [about] somebody who is a criminal, someone who has a long rap sheet and a history of convictions. His current allegations involve weapons possession by somebody who society has deemed should not possess guns. If the allegations against him are true, he appears to be a very, very bad boy.” 
 
 Yet Rodriguez firmly believes that Meeks’ sudden fame can help to turn his life around and inspire others. 
 
 “I think that people love to hear these kinds of stories,” explained Rodriguez. “This is somebody who probably never thought that he could do modeling, or that it could be a career for him. There’s probably others out there who feel that they don’t have a life after being involved with gangs. I think that it could change a lot of people’s opinions if Jeremy comes out and he’s a stand-up guy. In the end, it doesn’t matter how it came about. Does he not deserve to have this? I don’t think so.” ||||| Step aside Jeremy Meeks, there's a new sexy convict to hit the web. Sean Kory, a 29-year-old man from Santa Cruz, has become the Internet's newest "Hot Mugshot Guy."

 The blue-eyed hunk, who strikingly resembles original titleholder Meeks, was reportedly arrested over the weekend after yelling "I hate Fox News" and attacking a person dressed as a Fox News reporter at a Halloween parade. 
 
 According to Yahoo!, Kory grabbed the victim's microphone prop and "proceeded to rub the microphone on his crotch and pummeled the victim with an aluminum tennis racket." The victim, who was not seriously injured, contacted police, who then arrested Kory.

 In case you missed it, Meeks, from Stockton, Calif., was first crowned "Hot Mugshot Guy" after his booking photo hit the web following his June arrest on gang-related gun charges. TMZ reported the handsome criminal, who was indicted on federal charges in July, was then offered a modeling contract. A representative from the talent agency, Blaze Modelz, however, later denied the reports.

– A police officer dubbed the "Hot Cop of the Castro" is in pretty deep trouble after a hit-and-run Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Christopher Kohrs, a 38-year-old who gained social media fame for his chiseled good looks, faces two felony charges stemming from an early morning accident that left two pedestrians with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries. Police say that Kohrs, who was off-duty at the time, hit two men with his 2009 Dodge Charger as they crossed the street, then took off on foot, leaving his car at the scene. "It just looked like somebody had pulled up, stopped, got out of the car and left," witness Trey Bellomy tells ABC7. Police discovered the car was registered to Kohrs and later arrested him. Kohrs was first given the "Hot Cop" nickname in 2014, when San Franciscan Mark Abramson photographed the police officer and put the pictures on Facebook, Heavy.com reports. "It kind of went viral from there," Kohrs told CNN in July 2014. Indeed it did: There is a Facebook page dedicated to Kohrs with more than 52,000 likes. And BuzzFeed dubbed Kohrs "the hottest cop ever." Heavy.com notes that Kohrs’ Internet fame came around the same time as did that of Jeremy Meeks—a felon best known for his swoon-inducing mugshot—creating a good hot guy/bad hot guy juxtaposition. While Kohrs’ future is uncertain, Meeks reportedly signed a modeling contract earlier this year from behind bars.
