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 went viral after it was posted to Facebook and YouTube last month
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. 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 including several bags of marijuana that were package for resale.
The video is a recreation of a drive by shooting along with retaliation. Multiple individuals are shown in a ‘mannequin’ state pointing guns at each other.
