A heavily armed mannequin challenge in Alabama resulted in the arrests of two men for firearms and drug possession on Tuesday. The video, posted to Facebook last month, shows 22 men standing
completely still and brandishing guns outside 5012 Powell Drive in Huntsville. The meme made the cops’ job easy.
Someone tipped the police officers after sending them the video online, prompting an investigation. SWAT teams stormed the residence and cleared the scene before a search was conducted. Authorities seized marijuana packets, and several weapons.

However, two men, Kenneth Fennell White, 49, and Terry Brown, left, 23, were both arrested. White was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm. Brown was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, loitering and promoting prison contraband (for arriving at jail with marijuana).
The mannequin challenge is a viral Internet video trend in which people try to stay completely still as if they were part of a Madame Tussauds wax exhibit, typically with the song “Black Beatles” by Rae Sremmurd playing in the background. The shootout video, however, makes use of “Ain’t No Comin’ Down” by TEC & Maine Musik.
The law enforcement officers were flabbergasted that people would have the audacity to film a mannequin challenge at the same location where they allegedly sell drugs.
