A Mexican influencer was caught grinning on camera moments after being arrested for the savage beating of a female driver.
Rodolfo Marquéz, who is also known as Fofo Marquéz to millions of followers, was apprehended Thursday in connection with an assault at a mall parking lot in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, on February 22.
Shortly after, the 26-year-old smiled for snap taken inside a patrol vehicle while he sat between two law enforcement agents.
He was later photographed at a jail in the municipality of Tlalnepantla, again flashing a smile, while sporting a Psycho Bunny sweat suit and pair of $1,260 Louis Vuitton sneakers.
Marquéz, who has 3.9 million followers on Instagram, later appeared much more serious in a mugshot photo.

Marquéz spent the night inside a cell and was expected to appear before a judge Friday. He is facing a gender violence charge.
Footage of the assault showed a man approaching the woman after her SUV clipped the side mirror of the car the influencer was traveling in.
The woman could be seen opening her vehicle's door when she was punched her several times and kicked while lying on the ground.
The man then leans over the defenseless woman and lands multiple blows before walking away.
Another video showed him arguing with two men who confronted him over the assault and trying to kick one of them. He was then reportedly fled in a vehicle being driven by a female companion.

The woman, whose name is unknown, received assistance from bystanders, who wiped the blood of her face with tissue and water and offered to take her to a hospital.
She said she was trying to retrieve her insurance information to share it with the owner of the car Marquéz was in and believed he assaulted her because he thought she was going to leave the scene of the minor accident.
Marquéz is known for flashing his wealth on social media and was in the spotlight in 2022 when he used his fleet of luxury cars to create a major traffic jam by shutting down the Matute Remus Bridge in Guadalajara.
'We are going to close it, we are going to start dancing, do TikToks,' Márquez vowed while he sat in the passenger seat of one of his vehicles. 'So, well, so you can see, so you can see again what money can do here in Mexico.'
The Jalisco State Attorney General's Office launched an investigation and later reached an agreement with Marquéz, who said be would donate $2,100 to a local shelter.
