Not all jokes are funny if it means leaving a bad taste to others.
A woman’s viral video that circulated on Twitter showing her licking a half-gallon Blue Bell “Tin Roof” ice cream now puts her under police watch.
She is now facing a charge of second-degree felony tampering with a consumer product and is getting a warrant for her arrest, according to the Lufkin Police Department, in a post they made on Thursday on their official Facebook account.
They even released a photo of the woman with another man entering and exiting the Lufkin Walmart store where the incident happened on June 28.
Her video went viral and drew mixed reactions from netizens.
Isaac Hayes III, manager of The Estate of Isaac Hayes, said he doesn’t recall a “nationwide manhunt” when singer Ariana Grande licked a donut and put it back on the display.
I don’t recall a nationwide manhunt for Ariana Grande when she licked this donut or this old white guy for guzzling soup in this grocery store.
All 3 incidents are uncool but just like Ariana and this man weren’t sought after for arrest neither should the #BlueBell bandit. ? pic.twitter.com/pruY630P6y

On Friday, the ice cream company released an official statement saying they’re looking at methods with their manufacturing process in order to add additional protection to the carton.
They have informed the public that they have also pulled out all the half-gallon Tin Roof ice cream at the store after the incident.
