Jonathan Cahill, 37, was arrested and taken into custody after being "wanted on recall to prison," West Yorkshire Police announced on Twitter. 

Cahill, who was previously convicted of burglary, reportedly violated his parole after being released from prison in September, according to the Washington Post.

Various media outlets dubbed Cahill as a "fit felon" and "criminally hot" after thousands of social media users commented on the man's appearance, as the police inquiry went viral.
