‘Mannequin challenge’ video leads to arrests for guns, drugs at Alabama home
‘Mannequin challenge’ video leads to arrests for guns, drugs at Alabama home
LMAO!!!!!!!!! Dumbasses ‘Mannequin challenge’ video leads to arrests for guns, drugs at Alabama home | FOX2now.com MADISON COUNTY, Ala. - A "mannequin challenge" video resulted in several arrests after it led local and federal law enforcement to an Alabama home Tuesday morning, according to WHNT. The "mannequin challenge" internet phenomenon usually consists of a group of people freezing in various poses while a person with a camera walks around them, filming from different angles. Police say the "mannequin challenge" video that launched the investigation shows numerous people displaying guns, as if re-enacting a drive-by shooting. Authorities from the Madison County Sheriff's Office, the Huntsville Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a warrant at 5012 Powell Drive at 5:02 a.m. on Tuesday. Authorities arrested 49-year-old Kenneth White and charged him with first-degree possession of marijuana and certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm. He has a bond of $30,000. "In order to receive the 'certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm,' you must be convicted of a felony," Capt. Mike Salomonsky said. Investigators also arrested 23-year-old Terry Brown and charged him with possession of drug paraphernalia, loitering and promoting prison contraband. "Upon his arrival at the main facility after his incarceration, he was found to have marijuana on his person. So that brought about the additional charge which is a felony on him," Capt. Mike Salomonsky said of Brown's contraband charge. "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 and see if we can generate any charges out of that." Investigators say they were able to obtain enough probable cause through their investigation to get a search for the home. "We used a breaching technique which caused the front door to be removed from the residence," Capt. Salomonsky said. "They encountered one subject that was in the front room and he was armed. But, he told them he was armed." After authorities cleared the residence, they searched the house. Investigators say they found two handguns, one assault rifle, one older single-barrel shotgun, multiple packs of marijuana, an attack vest, multiple magazines for the assault rifle, multiple rounds of ammunition and a computer. There were six people inside the home when the team of authorities executed the search warrant, including children. Initially, they thought several items behind the house might have been stolen, but found they were purchased legitimately. The investigation started after the video surfaced. "You have a lot of people with firearms at one address," said Salomonsky. "And you have to ask yourself the question, 'Why?' and the second question you have to ask yourself: is it a public safety issue?" Deputies say the investigation determined the people living in that home were selling marijuana. Capt. Salomonsky said authorities expect to carry out at least one or two more arrests as the investigation continues |

Setting aside the allegations that they were dealing marijuana and probably are scumbags, the article has a lot wrong with it.

The question I would be asking is why their police captain would think people living together and owning firearms is an indicator of lawlessness. |

Whole lotta "presumed guilty, and we can probably find some sort of law that was broken" going on there. Rather pathetic. |

My guess is that some of the people in that photo/video were known to police as previous 'guests of the state', and in possession of firearms. That alone would give reasonable officers reason to serve a warrant.
That area of Huntsville isn't one of the better ones, if you know what I mean. |
