Woman Licking Blue Bell Ice Cream In Viral Video Faces Up To 20 Years In Jail

According to police, a woman videoed licking a container of Blue Bell ‘Tin Roof’ ice cream and putting it back in the freezer last week is facing up to 20 years in prison.

The incident happened at a Lufkin, Texas Wal Mart and was viewed more than 11 million times online.

Police say they believe the woman has been identified through surveillance footage, but want to confirm her identity before issuing an arrest warrant.

Authorities also want to speak to the man who videoed the woman licking the ice cream, and can also be heard encouraging her to ‘lick it.’

She could face a second-degree felony charge of tampering with a consumer product, the Lufkin police department said in an email statement to NBC News. The charge comes with a two- to 20-year prison term and up to $10,000 in fines, according to Texas state penal code.

Investigators are also in discussions with the FDA and additional federal charges could be made.
