LIVINGSTON, TX – Residents of Polk County are in uproar as rumors spread that local man, Cletus Jenkins, has been hoarding all the Blue Bell ice cream in the area. According to sources close to the situation, Jenkins has been purchasing every last pint of Blue Bell from the local grocery stores, leaving shelves empty and ice cream lovers in despair.

Witnesses claim to have seen Jenkins loading up his truck with cartons of Homemade Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate, with some even reporting that he has converted his entire garage into a makeshift freezer to store his seemingly endless supply of frozen treats.

“I went to the store last week to pick up some Blue Bell and there was none left. I asked the cashier what happened and she said Cletus Jenkins had cleared them out,” said local resident, Betty Sue. “I couldn’t believe it! He’s like the ice cream version of the Grinch stealing Christmas.”

Eastexasnews.com reached out to Jenkins for a comment on the allegations, but he simply replied, “Ain’t no law against loving Blue Bell, now is there?”

In response to the growing public outcry, Polk County authorities have launched an investigation into Jenkins’ ice cream stockpiling habits. Sheriff Hank Williams told PolkCountyToday.com, “We take these matters very seriously. We understand the importance of Blue Bell to our community, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that everyone has access to their favorite flavors.”

As the investigation continues, residents are left wondering if they will ever be able to enjoy a scoop of Blue Bell again without the looming presence of Cletus Jenkins and his insatiable ice cream obsession.
