Copycat ice cream licker arrested after posting video of offense
A Louisiana man inspired by a viral video of a teen girl licking an ice cream tub and putting it back in a store freezer is in custody after posting a video of himself doing the same thing.
Ice cream tampering seems to be the summer trend that won’t end.
A Florida woman was arrested after allegedly sticking her unwashed hands in ice cream at a scoop shop, as well as spitting in the ice cream and urinating in a bucket used to make the homemade treat over the course of at least three days in June.

According to police, the woman used “the bathroom with the door wide open” five times and did not wash her hands before walking into the freezer and opening ice cream containers, which she then placed her hands in.
She also was seen picking her nose before touching the ice cream and spitting into the containers.

On a different day, Wypcha visited the ice cream shop and went into the back room to use the restroom. However, there was a lock on the door and she ended up urinating in one of the buckets used to make the ice cream. She then emptied the urine into the sink.
The woman’s actions forced Lu Lu’s Ice Cream Shop to get rid of $2,000 worth of product to “ensure public safety,” FOX13 reported.
The motive was not shared. It was not indicated if Wypcha was an employee of the store or a customer.
