Authorities Find Suspected Blue Bell Licker

LUFKIN (AP/Staff) – Police in Lufkin have found the person suspected of taking a tub of Blue Bell ice cream from a Walmart freezer, removing the top to lick the ice cream and then returning it to the freezer. She is a juvenile from San Antonio, tied to the Lufkin area through her boyfriend’s family. The girl’s case is being turned over to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. Because she is a juvenile, her identity is not being released. A short video posted to social media last week shows a girl laughing as she places the top back on the half-gallon container and returning it to the freezer. Police now say the girl and her boyfriend have been forthcoming and admitted to the act. Police add they’ve been talking to prosecutors about the involvement of the boyfriend, who is an adult.
