Police Investigating Ariana Grande’s ‘Malicious Lick’ in Donut Shop

The video of singer autotuner Ariana Grande licking doughnuts in a store and saying “I hate America” is now a police matter.

Police in Lake Elsinore, California have announced that they, along with county health inspectors, are now investigating the viral video of the “malicious lick,” in which Grande licked a series of doughnuts without paying for any of them.

The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health has already lowered Wolfee Donuts’ health rating from an ‘A’ to a ‘B.’ County officials noted that it is against regulations to leave food in place where patron could potentially contaminate the food.
