Cops ID Blue Bell ice cream licker, won’t press charges because she’s a minor
2019-07-06
[NYPOST] The cold case gripping the nation has finally been licked!

Texas cops on Friday said they found the girl who licked a tub of Blue Bell ice cream and then put it back on the shelf ‐ and she even confessed after being busted with the boyfriend who filmed her in the video gone viral.

"They were both forthcoming with what occurred and admitted to the act," Lufkin Police and Fire announced in a proud "CASE SOLVED" posting on Facebook on Friday.

The dairy detectives outlined the intricacies of their case, saying that a catfisher had deliberately misled everyone and bragged about it on Instagram ‐ slowing down them getting the real inside scoop on who was behind the gross viral video.

And as the girl is under 17, they also seem to have thawed on locking her in the cooler despite previously warning she could have faced up to 20 years in jail along with fines of up to $10,000.

#9  Ditto on #3 and #8.
When you are talking food products the procedure is to recall anything that *might* be contaminated. So clear the freezer box and offer full refunds to anyone that bought that product on that day or later.
...And make her, the accomplice, and because she is a Minor her parents PAY FOR IT ALL.

#6  Pity that the custom of corporal punishment is out of fashion. Put people like her in medieval stocks in front of the county court house with a video screen showing the crime they committed on a loop over her...

#5  there is already another video making the rounds of a girl taking a drink of mouthwash, spitting it back in and putting it back on the shelf.

#4  Fine, when the entire frozen foods section is locked like razor blades at the drug store or the packaging is made tamper proof and the same package costs $2 more than now, then people will start to whine...

#3  At least make her pay for the whole batch of ice cream in the cooler as community service. No consequences, no prevention of such future incidents.

#2  that will teach her real well, no consequences for actions. That's exactly what all this internet fame is teaching these lil shits these days

#1  ...On the other hand, the nice people at Blue Bell are enraged over this - they went through a listeria contamination issue a year or two back, and yes, maybe they coulda/woulda/shoulda put a seal of some kind on the containers, but nobody held a gun to that little angel's head. Bringing a lowest-level lawsuit against the family, even if quickly dismissed, would bankrupt them PDQ and perhaps send an even more powerful message than an arrest.
