Truck driver with 'F-TRUMP' sticker arrested in Fort Bend County

RICHMOND, Texas (KTRK) -- The owner of the truck with a "F (expletive) Trump and f (expletive) you for voting for him" sticker has been arrested for an outstanding warrant out of Rosenberg.

Karen Fonseca was arrested for an outstanding warrant from August. Records show she was accused of fraud.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office removed a Facebook post involving the F-Trump sticker photo that went viral.

"I have received numerous calls regarding the offensive display on this truck as it is often seen along FM 359," Nehls wrote on a now deleted Facebook post. "If you know who owns this truck or it is yours, I would like to discuss it with you."

The post was removed after Fonseca was identified.

Sheriff Troy Nehls said, "The Facebook post accomplished its objective and now we know who owns the truck."

Yes, they got into a time machine and produced a warrant from August jberryhill Nov 2017 #5
If there's an outstanding warrant for you, calling attention to yourself may be a bad idea. n/t PoliticAverse Nov 2017 #6

So, you think the warrant should have been ignored? pintobean Nov 2017 #7
Again, he seemed less concerned about the warrant than the sticker. RhodeIslandOne Nov 2017 #9

Another great "huh?" moment is those with outstanding warrants show up to "win a free prize" at a "community event" that they found out about via a direct mailing:

"Congratulations!
You've won a 55" color TV. Please collect it at the *** Community Center on Saturday!
(PS: ignore all of the cop cars and armed officers standing around - they're just here to protect you!)

Convenient.

Funny how the Sheriff still seemed more upset about the sticker instead of just saying "there's an unrelated warrant out so we'd like to talk to the registered owner"
