A Kansas man seen in a music video with marijuana and a collection of firearms was sentenced Monday in federal court.
Shundell Cortez Barkus, 23, of Wichita, was sentenced to 48 months imprisonment followed by two years supervised release by U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten, according to an announcement by the Department of Justice.
As detailed in court documents, Barkus and five others, De’Adrian Johnson, Mario Smith, Imanuel Norwood, Keandre Summers and Dondre Broom, appeared in a rap video filmed in last January. In the video, the men puffed on weed and handled numerous firearms. In a search of the residence used for the filming location two weeks later, police recovered 2.5-pounds of marijuana and almost a dozen guns, many of which matched those used in the video.
Among the 11 guns recovered were a Springfield XD .45 ACP pistol, a Taurus .40-caliber, an AD-TEK Timberwolf .223 rifle, a MAK-90 rifle, several revolvers, a Mossberg shotgun and a Hi-Point .45, all listed as forfeited in court proceedings.
Besides Barkus who entered into a guilty plea in January to unlawful possession of a firearm by a user of controlled substances, Broom and Johnson have already been sentenced to four years and six months, respectively.
