BLAIR COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA: An armed robber became an online sensation overnight after his mugshot bore a strong resemblance to Harry Styles, leaving One Direction fans stunned. 21-year-old Jason Sanderlin drew attention on social media after his booking picture showed uncanny similarity to the singer and actor. However, the felon was given away by a large “33” tattooed on his forehead.

Also, court records have listed Sanderlin's height at 5 feet 4 inches — while Styles' height is 6 ft, according to WTAJ, which first reported on the resemblance. On January 21, Sanderlin allegedly ordered three people to get on the floor after kicking down the door of an apartment in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. Court records alleged he attacked a woman and grabbed her breasts when she tried to resist being zip-tied. He reportedly robbed her of $400 in cash and a stash of marijuana.

Sanderlin's longtime girlfriend turned him in after identifying him from surveillance footage. According to WTAJ, he is also charged with helping her carry out an earlier robbery. According to The Sun, Sanderlin allegedly showed off the marijuana he stole and in a Snapchat video immediately after the robbery. He is now charged with felony counts of robbery, conspiracy, indecent assault, aggravated assault, and criminal trespass. He also faces misdemeanor counts that include false imprisonment, indecent assault, and terroristic threats.
