A woman who was filmed licking ice cream from a tub of Blue Bell and putting it back in a Walmart freezer has been identified as a juvenile from San Antonio, police said Friday.
Officers from the Lufkin Police Department refused to publicly name the girl because of her age, but they said they had no plans to charge her as an adult for tampering with a consumer product.
According to an update on the department's Facebook page, the girl is tied to the Lufkin area through her boyfriend's family.
Both the girl and her boyfriend, who filmed the stunt, were said to be forthcoming and cooperative with police, telling them what occurred and admitting to the act.
Had authorities opted to charge with an adult count of tampering with a cosumer product, she could've faced a sentence of between two and 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
