Milwaukee Man Broadcasts Video Of Himself With Guns and Pot, Then Gets Busted: Police

MILWAUKEE, WI – A brazen Milwaukee man broadcast a video himself with guns, drugs and distributing drugs, according to a media report. And, in the eyes of police, that video made a star out of the man, who is now facing gun and drug charges.

Jeffery Kirk, of Milwaukee, apparently broadcast the 40-minute video on Facebook on Sept. 10, which court records indicate was his 20th birthday. Earlier this week, records show, he was taken into custody and charged.

The video, which is no longer available on Kirk’s Facebook page, showed him driving around town, distributing marijuana, according to a report by WISN-TV. The TV station’s report cited information from a criminal complaint.

When Kirk was arrested he was found with drugs, guns, cash and a bulletproof vest, according to the news station.

Court records show Kirk has been charged with four counts of possession of firearms and four counts of drug manufacturing and distribution. All of the charges are felonies.

A Milwaukee police spokesman did not return a message left Friday seeking more details.
