Police say they have found the person who opened a carton of ice cream at a Texas Walmart, licked the creamy goodness, and put it back in the freezer.
Lufkin Police say the female gleefully contaminated a half-gallon of Blue Bell Tin Roof ice cream last week in a viral Twitter video that has garnered more than 11 million views.
Detectives have "identified and spoken with the suspect and her boyfriend in the 'Blue Bell licking' case," a statement from Lufkin Police Department says.
The suspect, from San Antonio, is a juvenile, so police will not identify her.
It was initially believed the offender could face up to 20 years in prison for tampering with the product, however police have now changed their tone.
"We do not intend to pursue charges against her as an 'adult' and therefore what happens from here is at the discretion of the juvenile justice system," police said in a statement.
Offices are discussing her adult boyfriend's involvement with prosecutors.
The statement from the Lufkin Police Department says, "The case will be turned over to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department and remains under investigation."
