A St Petersburg woman was arrested on Monday for urinating, spitting and sticking her snot-covered fingers into ice cream at Lulu's Ice Cream in Indian Shores, Florida. According to the arrest affidavit, 66-year-old Jung Soon Wypcha who is a Florida convenience store worker urinated in an ice cream churning machine at a neighbouring shop. Police arrested the woman after the incident was caught on video. She ruined her rival's business costing them an estimated USD 2,000 worth of ice cream. The incident comes amidst recent Blue Bell Ice Cream trend that encourages people to spit in ice cream or frozen desserts at food marts.
