Copycat Blue Bell ice cream licker arrested in Louisiana

A 36-year-old man has been arrested after filming himself copying a teen's viral video in which she licked a half gallon of Blue Bell ice cream in a supermarket, Louisiana authorities said. Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office (APSO) deputies took Lenise Martin III into custody on Saturday, CBS Baton Rouge affiliate WAFB-TV reports. 

With two children nearby, Martin took a video of himself inside a Belle Rose store taking a Blue Bell container, licking the ice cream and moving his fingers inside before returning it to the refrigerator. He smiled during the act too.

Investigators say after management became aware of the video, Martin returned to the store and showed the clerk a receipt to prove he'd purchased the ice cream WAFB-TV reported. Management at the store later alerted authorities, who questioned Martin. Deputies then charged him with unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity and tampering with property.

Why are there no anti-tampering seals on that packaging?

After he spends several thousand dollars to have an attorney defend him, and he gets an acquittal, he won't be doing something stupid like that again just for attention. Sometimes is amazes me what people will do for attention on social media.
