LUFKIN, Texas (AP) — Police in East Texas say a teenager from San Antonio is suspected of taking a tub of ice cream from a Walmart freezer, removing the top to lick the ice cream and then returning it to the freezer.
Blue Bell Creameries said in a statement that it determined a Walmart store in Lufkin was where "the malicious act of food tampering took place."
A short video posted to social media last week shows the teenage girl laughing as she places the top back on the half-gallon container and returning it to the freezer.
Blue Bell says the container that was "compromised" was found and removed.
The company says "food tampering is not a joke."
Lufkin police previously said the suspect faced a felony charge of tampering with a consumer product.
It's not clear how she may be charged now that she's been identified as a juvenile.
