HUNTSVILLE (September 2, 2015) A Sam Houston State University student under fire for her remarks on social media about a slain Texas deputy has been arrested on an unrelated warrant.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office confirms Monica Foy was arrested Tuesday night at her home for an assault warrant in Harris County.
"Around 7:30 p.m. our agency received a call from someone making us aware of the warrant. We confirmed it was active. We went to her home and she was taken into custody without any problems," said Lt. Brady Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald couldn't confirm who made the call about the warrant, but says Foy was booked into the Montgomery County jail and was later released on bond.
Foy received national attention after posting a controversial tweet Tuesday morning on her personal account @MonicaFoycan.
The tweet said "I can't believe so many people care about a dead cop and NO ONE has thought to ask what he did to deserve it. He had creepy perv eyes..."
The tweet was published on the website Breitbart.com and Foy was identified as a student at Sam Houston State University.
According to Breitbart.com, the tweet appears to be directed at the recent shooting death of Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth.
Sam Houston State University has received a significant amount of feedback from people upset about Foy's comments on social media.
On Tuesday night the school posted the following statement on its Facebook page:
"SHSU appreciates the enormous public response in support of law enforcement. The university is a leader in educating many people who work in criminal justice and those who protect the civil liberties this country was founded upon, including free speech, whether we agree with that speech or not.
SHSU has a strong Student Code of Conduct. The student’s remarks will be evaluated to determine if the code was violated following standardized due process. The university has an ongoing commitment to taking actions that strengthen dialog and understanding between our students and the law enforcement community." Several Facebook users claiming to be Sam Houston State alumni have threatened to stop supporting the school if Foy isn't disciplined or removed from campus.
In a separate Facebook post, Sam Houston State University added several photos of police officers hugging students on campus along with this message:
"The individual opinion of a student does not reflect the beliefs of Sam Houston State University or its 20,000 other students. Sam Houston State is renowned internationally for its criminal justice programs and many in Texas law enforcement are proud SHSU alumni. We fully support and are thankful for the men and women who risk their lives every day to protect and serve communities across the nation. We mourn the loss of any officer and in no way condone the recent and senseless violence that has occurred in Texas and across the United States against those who have sworn to protect us."
Since the posting, Foy's Facebook and Twitter count have been shut down.
A prayer service to honor fallen law enforcement officers is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. Wednesday at the First Baptist Church of Conroe.
Is this a situation where they have to link two sets of handcuffs togehte4r just to get her hands behind her back?
I don’t know what she did... but she is dern sure guilty.
3..she’s a BIG’UN..
More importantly ... how do they wipe their butt after taking a dump ?
Ton of fun for sure.
Get out the duct tape,lots of it.
OK Foy, I'll bite. What did he do to deserve this other than having " creepy perv eyes?"
Looking at her youtube page she was probably an anchor baby. Correction: ANCHOR PIGLET.
Karma can be kool!
No doubt someone in the police department happened to remember that ‘old’ charge.....
....and overrunneth mouth gets taken to jail!
Love when a plan comes together.
I suspect a male student calling a female student the C word would be expelled in minutes if not seconds.
So much for free speech.
This university as so many others, has very selective outrage.
“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life... Dean Wormer”
Fat & Ugly is not good, either.
Piglet? She’s full sow.
Oh,my !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably was being nasty because her date didn’t show up.
.
Throw the book at her. It doesn’t look like it would be the first.
Liberal media will be screaming about free speech and all that.
She must have forgotten to turn that off when she closed her Facebook and Twitter! Brutal stuff!
One of the tame ones: You are digustingly fat. You should feel terrible. But even if you lost weight you'd still be ugly.
