The video, which has been viewed over 10 million times, shows the San Antonio teen opening the container, licking a half gallon of Tin Roof ice cream and putting it back into the freezer of the Walmart in Lufkin after she tampered with it.
The Lufkin Police Department says they've talked with the juvenile suspect, whose identity is being protected due to her age. Because of that, the case is being turned over to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department and remains under investigation.
Blue Bell Creameries said in a statement that "food tampering is not a joke,"
