A gun-wielding Mannequin Challenge video led to the arrest of two men and the seizure of several firearms and marijuana at a north Alabama home.
The video, which shows several people in still poses holding guns, led Madison County Sheriff's investigators to serve a search warrant at 5012 Powell Drive N.W. in Huntsville around 5 a.m., said Capt. Mike Salomonsky.
The video has been shared nearly 86,000 times since it was posted to Facebook on Nov. 9.

Those arrested are Kenneth Fennell White, 49, and Terry Brown, 23.
White is charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm by a violent felon. He is being held in the Madison County Jail with bail set at $30,000.
Brown is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and loitering. Once he was taken to the jail, authorities found marijuana in his possession and added a charge of promoting prison contraband. image His bail is set at $3,800.
Two handguns, an assault rifle and a shotgun, along with several rounds of ammunition and magazines were seized at the home, Salomonsky said.
Investigators also discovered several bags of marijuana that were packaged for resale along with scales and a device used for grinding the drug.
A computer also was taken into custody for intelligence gathering, Salomonsky said.
The investigation into the video began shortly after it was posted nearly a month ago, but further information was needed for investigators to get a search warrant, Salomonsky said.
The Huntsville Police Department and agents from Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms also helped with the investigation.

I've always found it ? to self-incriminate oneself for online likes and ? . But one thing I found jarring is the police went out of their way to get the address just to lock some ? up.

I dont care who did the mannequin challenge or whatever theme they were doing all that ? was stupid...

Good.

I understand these dudes were dumb for putting themselves in a video knowing there werent supposed to have weapons but it also shows how obsessed the pigs are with the black people
-
I knew it would happen eventually. If you not privy to law enforcement/informants on social media, i have no sympathy for you.

But like......what was the crime?

You know that saying, if you do something fun and cool in the forest and there's no one on the internet to see it, did you really do something cool and fun?
I just don't understand why, why do these people have this insatiable need for internet likes? Not sure if it feeds their narcissism or it helps the insecure feel better about themselves

Pretty sure the cops can't tell from the video that the guns were real, but they went off the assumption that they were real and then hoped that some of guys weren't allowed to have weapons.
Filming at the house and with visible license plates made it easy to locate them. I mean it's pretty obvious these pigs are just looking for any reason to lock a ? up. These guys just handed themselves up to the cops on a silver platter

Don't feel sorry for them at all. They made their own block hot smh

Wait, some of ya'll think that the cops were just randomly perusing the internet, found this video, and decided to go at them?
I'm pretty sure that's not what happened. These dudes probably had some heat on them and weren't smart enough to lay low. It's pretty much a standard police tactic these days. When they want info on people or want to get them for something, they monitor their social media. And people just can't help but give the cops ammo.
