Drive-by shooting mannequin challenge leads to arrests

Video of a mannequin challenge depicting a drive-by shooting led to two arrests in Alabama this week. 

The video, which was posted on Facebook in early November, showed multiple men pointing guns at each other in frozen positions as music played in the background, AL.com reported. 

Madison County Sheriff's Office Capt. Mike Salomonsky said the video prompted investigators to begin gathering evidence to secure a warrant, AL.com reported.

Salomonsky said officers served the warrant around 5 a.m. on Tuesday and found two hand guns, a rifle, and a shotgun, along with marijuana and ammunition at the house in Huntsville, Ala. 

 Officers arrested Kenneth Fennell White, 49, and Terry Brown, 23. 

Brown was charged with promoting prison contraband, drug paraphernalia possession, and loitering. 

White was charged with possession of a firearm by a violent felon and first-degree possession of marijuana. 

 Salomonsky said there will likely be additional arrests, WHNT-TV reported.

"There are several persons in the video who may be convicted felons," Capt. Salomonsky said. "So, we're going to try to do some identification, work with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) and see if we can generate any charges out of that."
