MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin authorities arrested three men who claimed to be re-creating a scene from a movie when police spotted them inside a Jeep wearing masks and holding a gun.

Mount Pleasant police say they got a report of a man with a gun Thursday afternoon. When they responded to the area, they encountered three men in the Jeep. Two wore masks and another held a replica BB gun.

Police say the men told officers they were recreating a scene from “Belly,” a 1998 crime film.

The Journal Times reports police found an unknown amount of money and marijuana in the Jeep.

Oriece Carothers, 21, faces charges of marijuana possession with intent to deliver and disorderly conduct; Kaleaf Carothers, 20, has an outstanding warrant; and Sanjuan Bustamente, 39, faces drug charges.
