The 36-year-old man, who was taken into custody on Saturday, was allegedly inspired by a teenager's now viral video.
A 36-year-old man in Louisiana has been arrested after filming himself licking a tub of Blue Bell ice cream and returning it to a store's freezer. The man, Lenise Martin III, was allegedly copying a teenager's viral video in which she performed the same act at a Walmart in Texas.

"He puts it on Facebook to gain this notoriety and at the end of the day, it gives other people ideas that are not the best interest of public health," commander Lonny Cavalier told CNN."He did it and he did want to create some notoriety for himself by posting it on Facebook and that's exactly what he did."
