Two men were arrested and several weapons were seized after a Mannequin Challenge video showed several people in poses with their guns still raised.

Madison County Sheriff’s investigators saw the video after it was posted to Facebook on November 9, where it was shared 86,000 times, and they obtained a search warrant to go to the scene, where they arrested Kenneth Fennell White and Terry Brown.

White was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm by a violent felon, while Brown was charged with drug paraphernalia and loitering, with an additional charge of promoting prison contraband when marijuana was found on her person after he had been taken to jail.

Police also seized two handguns, an assault rifle and a shotgun, as well as several magazines and rounds of ammunition. Several bags of marijuana were also found at the scene.
