Charles Dion McDowell, 31, who has become known online as the "neck guy," was arrested in Lee County early Wednesday morning and booked into the Lee County Detention Center in Opelika.
McDowell was charged with attempting to elude, second-degree marijuana possessions, driving with a revoked license, reckless driving and improper lane usage, jail records showed.
McDowell was being held on $5,400 in bonds, but made bail this morning.
McDowell had been arrested in Florida earlier this month on a number of charges including fleeing police, possession of meth, possession of cocaine and a number of other charges including intent to sell, manufacture or deliver.
His mug shot almost immediately went viral online, with online users making fun of his neck.
The Escambia County Sheriff's Office first published his mugshot on their Facebook page on Nov. 13, which has since been shared more than 265,000 times.
