Man filmed licking ice cream tub gets 30 days in jail
(CNN) — Licking open containers of Blue Bell ice cream and sticking them back on freezer shelves was a fleeting fad in the summer of 2019 that delighted viral fame chasers and enraged law enforcement.
One of the lickers who got caught will serve jail time and pay over $2,000 in fines and restitution.
D’Adrien L’Quinn Anderson of Port Arthur, Texas, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and sentenced to 30 days in jail for licking a half-gallon of vanilla Blue Bell ice cream.
He’ll also pay a fine of $1,000 and restitution of $1,565 to Blue Bell Creameries, the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Anderson filmed himself licking the ice cream in August, more than one month after a clip of a juvenile doing the same thing racked up millions of views.
The 24-year-old told CNN affiliate WOAI he only did it to go viral. But the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office said the act was “much more than a stunt.”
