A mannequin challenge filmed in Huntsville,Watch Fast And Furious Online Alabama, has attracted plenty of attention -- much of it from law enforcement.
In November, a group of 22 men gathered together to partake in the viral challenge, but rather than striking a silly pose with a friend or pretending to chug from a bottle of wine, they decided to film themselves frozen with firearms in hand.
After the controversial video was submitted to the Madison County Sheriff’s office website, police launched an investigation that ended in two arrests, along with the seizure of several firearms and marijuana.

The video below shows the challenge, and the men can clearly be seen pointing rifles at one another and "hiding" behind garbage cans and under cars as if to take cover from shots.
In a press conference on Tuesday morning, Capt. Mike Salomonsky addressed the actions that led to the investigation, along with the resulting charges.
He explained that an investigation was launched after seeing the men armed with various handguns and possible assault weapons. "Through their investigation, the Criminal Investigation/Narcotics Unit was able to obtain enough probably cause to get a search warrant for the address," Salomonsky said.

Salomonsky announced that 49-year-old Kenneth Fennell White was arrested on two charges — first degree possession of marijuana and being a felon in possession of a firearm. His bond was set at $30,000. Terry Brown, 23, was also arrested on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, loitering and promoting prison contraband. His bail was set at $3,800.
Mashable reached out to the Madison County Sheriff's Department for further comment.
