Owner of Truck with F**K Trump Sticker Arrested in Texas


PINAC broke the story yesterday yesterday after Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy E. Nehls posted a message to Facebook, along with a photo of the truck, saying he was looking for the driver of the truck sporting the profane message on a sticker in the rear window.

“I have received numerous calls regarding the offensive display on this truck as it is often seen along FM 359. If you know who owns this truck or it is yours, I would like to discuss it with you. Our Prosecutor has informed us she would accept Disorderly Conduct charges regarding it, but I feel we could come to an agreement regarding a modification to it,” the post read before Sheriff Nehls decided to delete it, claiming he received threats to his family.

It turns out, the owner of the truck, Karen Fonseca, worked for the sheriff in the past at the county jail.

Now, Fonseca has been arrested for an outstanding warrant from August.

Karen Fonseca was arrested after Sheriff Troy E. Nehls posted to Facebook, saying a Fort Bend County Prosecutor agreed to accept disorderly conduct charges against her for a “Fuck Trump” sticker posted to the back of her truck.

A spokeswoman for the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office said they received a tip about the warrant, according to ABC13.

Mike Fonseca, Karen’s husband, says she was arrested at their Stafford home in front of her 6-year-old daughter.

He questions the timing.

“I think it’s the sticker,” he said during an interview outside the Fort Bend County Jail.

1. I say

"to hell with trump", "fuck trump" and ALWAYS preface my remarks with P****-grabber-in-chief POS in public, always and will continue to do so. I have a right to hate this potus POS every day he calls himself potus. I don't have any outstanding warrents so I don't have anything that any law officer can use against me. Fuck trump and I will get some bumper stickers made.

2. This sheriff has turned county law enforcement into a shit show here.

[Lee-Lee]

3. Im torn here

It’s clealry protected political speech, even with the profanity. Texas case law may not be clear on it but if they actually cite her for the sign the ACLU will win the case eventually.

However, rule #1 is don’t be stupid. If you have outstanding warrants and you haven’t taken care of them then spending money on a giant expensive sign for your vehicle that is sure to draw attention to yourself instead of spending that money to get those outstanding warrants taken care of, either paying the fine or getting a lawyer to get the ball rolling on a defense.

If you have outstanding warrants the second stupidest thing you can do is nothing and pretend that they are not there, because you will get arrested eventually. The only thing stupider than that is making a spectacle of yourself to draw attention and make sure that happens even faster.

Sympathy for being targeted for the sticker. Zero sympathy for being arrested for unrelated warrants after choosing to spend money on the sticker instead of a lawyer and making a spectacle of herself ensuring they would end up arresting her.

5. Let's also remember that a good number of warrants aren't actually served

and are on the system. That's burned a hell of a lot of people that didn't even know that they had one against them to begin with.

11. If you have outstanding warrants the second stupidest thing you can do is nothing and pretend...

very true
It's like knowing you owe taxes and ignore it
If you do anything to catch people's attention you get nailed

[Corgigal]

12. You can run yourself

or call the local agency from a burner phone and ask if you're wanted. We will tell you. It's not a giant secret, unless it involves Mueller's team.

Yep, if you want attention, even for a good cause, don't put yourself at risk by painting a target on your back.

Well, she can clear up that warrant crap, change two words on the sign and carry one. Hell, she might put up s fund raiser, maybe someone will take care of the legal fees.

4. Don't people watch live pd?

Broken tail light + warrant = jail

Never understand people who want attention drawn to themselves smh

[marble falls]

6. She really needed to get that warrant cleared. But I am making a bumper sticker with ....

her sentiments.

I got one now "Make America Great Again - Dump the Trump" in Red and white.

7. Fraud?

Not much detail on the charges.

$1,500 bond?

Can't be that serious.

[dalton99a]

8. Fuck Troy Nehls.

[MineralMan]

9. Pro Tip: If you have an outstanding warrant,

it's best not to draw attention to yourself or your vehicle.

Just saying...

10. The responses here are pathetic

This scumbag right-wing Sheriff, with the right-wing nut job prosecutor publicly tracked down a member of the community over a bumper sticker about Trump. Who cares if they had a warrant (which they may have not even been aware of).

It is sick, scary behavior, and evidence of one big problem we seem to not talk much about these days with the current ongoing daily in white house: LE's across the nation are by in large major MAGA's and part of the 35%.

13. Thank you

[Corgigal]

15. Do you understand our legal system?

Cause warrants of any kind must be dealt with. Irregardless on who is what, rule of law and all that. Doesn't mean it's fair, but you don't ignore that shit.

She knows now, deal with it and move on.

[Madam45for2923]

14. She was T.A.R.G.E.T.E.D.

[treestar]

18. +1

A lot of people have outstanding warrants. She did draw the attention; however, they chose her among all the warrants they have to execute.

16. What is it about county sheriffs that make them idiots. The same can be said about the one in

Sutherland Fall, TX, when the only he could say was screw the media.

Then we have a super asshole but not quite as bad as Joe A.

It is the Sheriff of that community in Oregon where they had a mass shooting at a community college that killed seven people.

The sheriffs was a birther and a gun nut. They even had a demonstration against when Obama visited the families of the victims.

That Sheriff was constantly beating down the media. When news people recall lists of mass killings, that little place in Oregon is never mentioned.

I could look up the name of the town but I think I'll just forget about it.

17. Let me help you -- Roseburg, Umpua Community

College.

21. I used to enjoy burning farts when camping out with the guys.

[NutmegYankee]

22. The sticker has been on the vehicle since the election.

How do we know this warrant isn't a trumped up charge?
